How to make Fork and Spoon Wind Chimes for Father's Day
You will need:
Clean, empty 8 oz. margarine tubs made of thin plastic
Glue
Paper Punch
4 large Beads or Buttons
Ruler
Nylon Monofilament
Old metal spoons and forks
Pencil
1. Place the tub upside down on a table and decorate it, using scraps of construction paper and glue. You can make collages of different shapes or cut letters out of construction paper and glue them to the tub to form messages.

2. Set the tubs aside to dry. After, the glue has dried thoroughly, use the hole puncher to punch four holes along rim of the tub. The holes should be about 1/2 " from the edge of the tub and evenly spaced out.
3. Cut four 12" lengths of fishing line and 4 spoons or forks. The children tie one end of each piece of fishing line to the fork or spoon.
4. Then thread one piece of fishing line through each hole in the tub. As they thread each piece of line through a hole, tie a large bead or button on the end. The bead should be bigger than the hole so it will not slip through.
5. After you have attached all the spoons/forks to the wind chimes, place the tubs upside down (bottoms up). With a sharpened pencil, poke two holes about 1" apart in the center of the bottom of each tub. Thread a 12" length of fishing line through bottom holes and tie the ends together to make a hanger for the wind chimes.
6. The wind chimes can be hung indoors or outside. Each pair of metal spoons should be positioned so that the two touch each other. When air moves past them, they will produce a pleasant clinking sound.
Variations
Spray paint each spoon and fork a different colors
Cover utensils with glue and sprinkle on glitter to have shiny wind chime
