Plus, it’s a fantastic way to repurpose items you might already have around the house, making it an affordable DIY project.
In this tutorial, Mark Montano will teach you everything you need to know to create your own faux sea glass wind chime. From selecting the best materials and crafting the faux sea glass pieces to assembling your wind chime and ensuring it produces a pleasing sound, these step-by-step instructions will make the process straightforward and enjoyable.
To start, cut 2 pards of cord, then fold in 1/2 and knot 3″ down. Next, arrange your sea glass pieces as you like, then tie a 1/2 knot under the first. Insert the glass piece and secure it with a double knot. After this, tie a knot 1″ under the glass piece, then make another 1/2″ knot, and insert the second glass piece, then do double knot. Continue these steps until you finish your strand.
After your first strand, just repeat the process and make two more. Once finished, secure each glass piece with E6000 glue. After this, secure the loops of the strands around the driftwood, then tie more cord for hanging. Secure the hang with E6000 glue.
