How to make your own terracotta wind chime

Step 1
For this project you need three small terracotta pots in three different sizes. Paint each pot inside and out with Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer and leave it to dry.

Step 2
Paint the pots with Resene Quick Dry. You can skip this skip if you would like. The Quick Dry gives you a nice white base to paint onto.

Step 3
Paint the body of the biggest pot with Resene Lucky Point, the middle sized pot with Resene Rain Forest and the smallest pot with Resene Fire.

Step 4
Paint the rim of the biggest pot with Resene Rusty Nail, the rim of the middle sized pot with Resene Lucky Point and the smallest pot with Resene Glamour Puss. Add on some thin stripes with Resene Black. Use the end of a pencil to add the spots.

Step 5
Take a length of string and thread two washers through it; one to work as a clapper and one to stop the string from pulling through the hole in the pot. Thread on the smallest pot.

Step 6
Use a third washer and loop the string through this about 5cm above the first pot. Thread on the middle sized pot. Repeat this again with a fourth washer for the last pot.

Step 7
Tie a knot at the top of the last pot and thread on some wooden beads and tie a knot between each bead. Fleur painted the beads in Resene Glamour Puss, Resene Fire, Resene Rusty Nail, Resene Rain Forest and Resene Lucky Point. Fleur used a jute string. If you want to hang this wind chime outside in the weather, you will need to use a rot resistant/plastic string so that it lasts longer.
