Restringing a Wind Chime

RE: Restringing a Wind Chime By fatboyslimsmom (310) Profile Contact If it is just for the part that holds the strings in place, try a larger plastic lid, like from a large coolwhip, or can of coffee. You can then poke holes in it with a heated needle, and if needed slice through from the outer edges to the holes. This would only work for the spreader part, not if it was a part that strikes the chimes. Posted on 05/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Restringing a Wind Chime By Cricketnc (336) Profile Blog! Contact I have a large brass wind chime that has the same problem. The strings are rotting out and the wooden holder thing is dry rotted badly. Some of the strings holding it to the hook have broken and it just hangs there looking terrible. I love that idea of using an old tin pan. I have an old tin bowl that would work perfectly! I'm going to use that idea to fix it and rehang it with fishing line. Thank you from me too!

Then drill holes evenly spaced according to how many chimes you have and their width (they will have to touch slightly). Attach fishing line to chime, measure length desired, run thru lid hole and tie onto a small washer. Will last for many years.

Use fishing line--it won't rot. Posted on 04/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Restringing a Wind Chime By vguy (114) Profile Blog! Contact How about poking holes in a jar lid and stringing fishing line through it? Posted on 04/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Restringing a Wind Chime By pamphyila (598) Profile Blog! Contact Use fishing line to restring the chimes - then tie onto a dowel, stick or even a wooden coat hanger! Posted on 04/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
