In reply to Tess.

Using the plastic beads pictured doesn’t result in a lot of sound – adding washers at the bottom or using glass, ceramic or metal beads will result in a better sound experience. This was more just to encourage fine motor skills in a cute craft using what we had readily available from other craft projects.

The strings should be 6-10″ in length.

In reply to Michelle. I'm curious about this too. Do the beads make a sound when the wind blows the strings around? Also, about how long were the strings you used?

Hi Geo, I’m sorry, I have no idea – tbh, I don’t think I even realized there were different sizes of washers LOL Maybe 1″ or just smaller?

Hi!
Super cute idea! Hoping to do this over the summer with my kids. Not sure if I might’ve missed this on your post. But I’m wondering what sized washers did you use?

In reply to Denise Pavel. do you have a picture of your finished project? I'm not clear on how to keep the fishing line from getting tangled together? I thought this might be a nice Mother's Day gift for grandmothers in our family.

In reply to Denise Pavel. Awesome idea, you can also use these paints called patio paints that dont require sealing, they look just like acrylic paint bottles. Kid friendly, and I used to buy at Michaels beside the terra cotta paints. Have a terra cotta pot that my son painted 12 years ago still sitting on the porch (in all kinds of weather). It only cost about .50 more than the regular acrylic back then and still cleaned up easily. :)

I love this project but I have one suggestion. Using the free “oops” keys they screw up on at the hardware store, as well as old, bent silverware, you can use fishing line and hang both (as well as other oddball metal items…use your imagination!) to create chimes that will produce a beautiful sound and different tones! We did this project in my preschool classroom at the YMCA many years ago, using metal clothes and exremely strong test clothes hangers to hang them from tree branches. We placed pony beads of all colors in between the fishing line to separate the keys, forks, spoons, and other various metal items (they WILL tangle if placed too close together. This project looks like so much fun that I think next time I’m at the store I’ll buy a terra cotta pot and marble paint one with my acrylics, making sure to shellacc the outside of the pot to protect my paint job throughout the summer. That’s what’s great about being a retired teacher…now your art projects are solely for your enjoyment! Happy painting!
