Items to Recycle: (Plastic Cutlery and Paper Plates)

What You Need:

To create wind chimes, simply gather:
  • some plastic cutlery
  • a paper plate
  • a sharp pencil
  • a pair of scissors
  • some string or yarn

What You Do:

  • First, cut the string into lengths from 4" to 6".
  • Then, tie the string to the ends of the cutlery.
  • Next poke some holes into the paper plate, thread the string through and tie a knot in each piece.
  • Finally, fasten three pieces of string to the top of the plate.
  • Optional: decorate the paper plate with crayons, paint, markers or paper.
