Wind chimes under construction  by wakelys

Wind chimes under construction

When a neighbour asks you to help in a children’s activity morning and then you have to come up with ideas!!
I had a few. Now got 2 weeks to source materials and be sure that activity age appropriate.
Punching holes in shells is proving interesting. A drill is too destructive so a bradawl is the answer. Just as well that I had one in my crafting tool box. Oh and a trip to the fishing tackle shop.
Completed here
Beautiful composition

Love the info. I never heard of this and usually use a hammer and nail to start holes, but this seems very useful.

A mysterious look at the shells and wire. Could you use a manual drill with a tile bit. Maybe something out of the jewelry making section at a craft store.

@randystreat I used a crafting drill and the layers of the shell beak away with the vibration. Using the bradawl worked well.

I was going to ask how did you drill the shells. Looks like a great project is taking place. Well done - a well chosen subject for your entry.
