These spooky wind chimes will look and sound equally great in a garden - or a bedroom. If you're ready to confront your fears and have a go at making them, here's what to do! For the first step, you'll need three small pieces of bamboo, gardening cane or strong twigs. They need to be about 20cm long. Assemble them into a triangle, securing at each join with an elastic band. Now you need to cut three pieces of string that are the same length. Tie one to each of the three corners of the triangle. Gather the three loose ends up, and tie them in a knot. Leave a piece of looped string at the top, beyond the knot, so that you can hang the chimes up when they have been finished. Make the skulls and other scultped creatures next. These are made from oven-bake clay which you can get from most art or craft shops. The kind we used glows in the dark which is great for adding extra effect to these spooky wind chimes! To make a skull, get two balls of the clay, one slightly bigger than the other. Squeeze the smaller of the two so that it flattens out slightly, then stick it to the bigger ball. Neaten up the join by smoothing it. Use the shaft of a a wooden kebab skewer to do this. When that's done you can make the nose hole. Press one end of the kebab skewer into the skull, just above the join. Make the eye holes now. Again, just press the kebab skewer in twice. The next bit can be tricky... You need to push the skewer right the way through the skull, so that you can thread string through it. You might also want to have a go at making some other suitably spooky shapes from the clay. Here you can see some bats and bones. Whatever you make, remember to bore a hole through each so that you can thread string through later on. Bake your clay by following the instructions on the packaging. Next you'll need some small terracotta flowerpots. We used ones that are 5cm and 7cm in diameter. Paint them with white emulsion and allow the paint to dry. Then paint them black, but why not leave some of the white paint showing through in a dribble pattern. You can then paint these white dribbles with fluorescent paint. When the clay skulls and anything else that you baked are done and cooled, they'll be rock solid. Now you need to take some drinking straws and cut them down into small lengths. These will space things out on the threads. The only other thing you need to get now is a quantity of beads. If you can, get different sized ones in black, green and yellow. The first thing to do is tie a big bead onto one end of a thread, and tie a knot on top of it. Now thread everything on. You can use any order you like, but you might want to experiment a little. Before you add a flowerpot, thread a bead on before it, then tie a knot on top of it. Add another large bead on top of that, then the flowerpot. The big bead and knot will stop it from slipping down the thread and obscuring the things at the bottom. You need to make three strings of beads, bones and flowerpots. Remember to compare the three threads with each other, to check that the bones and the flowerpots will be in different positions on each one, to make the spooky bone rattling sound that you need! Tie the three threads to each corner of the triangle that you made earlier. You also need to make a fourth thread that's longer than all the others. This one will help to create that bone-rattling noise! And remember: you don't have to make the chimes spooky. When you know what to do you could paint them with bright colours for some funky chimes, or how about some shells and sandy pots for a beachcomber version like this one here!
