You will need the following materials to make your windchimes.
The lacing and chimes are available through most Craft retailers.

Step 1:
To begin, create the following shapes on your pegboards, or make up designs on
your own! Click on each image to enlarge them!

Step 2:
After your designs have been ironed,
use a length of the lacing or string
and follow the diagram at left to
join each of the six sides together.
|
Step 3:
Then attach the chimes and the bottom
piece to the top piece with lacing
or string as shown at right.
The chimes should all be hung on equal
lengths of lacing from the top.
The bottom piece (small hexagon) should
be hung in the center and lower than each
of the chimes but high enough to strike
the chimes when it catches the wind.

Step 4:
Cut six lengths of lacing or string
about 1 foot long and tie a knot on
each end. Then slip them through the
top points of each of the assembled
design patterns from the inside out,
as in the picture at left.
Continue by lacing each of the lengths
through the 6 points on the top piece
until all 6 are through. Then tie all 6
in a knot as shown.

Hang your Perler 4-Seasons windchime outside or inside where everyone can
enjoy it! Use your imagination!
