CD Chime instructions
I take two CDs and liquid nail them together using exterior liquid nails with the writing on the inside and the shiny part out.
When that is dry I drill a small hole in the top for hanging and three small holes centered at the bottom for the chimes.
I then find pictures I want to put on the center of the CD, cut them out and give them a couple of coats of clear spray varnish, when dry I use white glue to attach them to the middle of the CD one on each side.
I attach the snap? part of a fishing leader with swivel to the top of the CD, take a snap?, just like is on the other end of the fishing leader, open the bottom portion so this can be attached to the fishing leader, then reconnect and I use a hook from old earrings for hanging. I then outline the picture with glitter paint on both sides and around the outside edge of the CD.
I let this dry for a day and then I attach small chimes to the bottom with fishing line in graduating lengths. I like to hang them in my windows, where they will catch the sunlight and a breeze.
