FLOWER POT WIND CHIMES

You Need

• Four 2-inch diameter terracotta pots
• 2 yards of jute
• Large wood or plastic beads with holes large enough to thread on jute
• Variety of colors craft paint 
• Variety of sizes paint brushes
• Paper plate
• Scissors

Directions

1. Use the paper plate as a palate for the craft paint. Use a larger brush to paint a base coat on the pots. Let dry.
2. Use small brushes to paint simple designs or shapes on the pots: dots, stripes, bugs, flowers. Let the paint dry.
3. Holding the ends of the jute together, tie a knot 2-3 inches above the ends of the jute. Unravel the ends below the knot.
4. String a 6 inch length of beads on the jute. 
5. String a pot on the jute so it hangs upside down like a bell over the string of beads. Tie a knot in the jute just above the bottom of the pot. 
6. String another 6 inches of beads on the jute and add a second pot above the string. Knot the jute just above the bottom of the second pot. Repeat this until you have all four pots strung with beads between them. 
7. String 2-3 inches of beads above the top pot and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging the wind chimes.
