Description

With a little twine and a bit of patience you too can transform that discarded Bicycle Tire Rim into a center stage Wind Chime

Instructions

  1. Small 2018 01 30 191853 wind%2bchime%2b1

    You will need an old bicycle tire rim. Mine was in need of a freshen up so I spray painted it black.

  2. Small 2018 01 30 192028 wind%2bchime%2b4

    The next step was to wrap twine all around the rim, or at least as much of it as the twine will last. (More about that on the blog.) I also added twine so it could be hung from the top.

  3. Small 2018 01 30 192147 wind%2bchime%2b8

    And lastly for the "bling" or music of the chime, I attached vintage keys that had been painted white.

    And that is my wind chime which hangs from the branches of the fig tree.
