Instructions

    • 1

      Cut 24 inches of fishing wire and loop it through the key ring. Draw both ends of the wire through the loop and pull it tightly to knot it. Make sure the ends are even.

    • 2

      Push both ends of the fishing wire through the holes in a glass bead and knot beneath the hole to keep the bead in place.

    • 3

      Line the backs of two mirrored tiles and the edges of the fishing wire with super glue and sandwich them together atop the wire. Press tight and allow the glue to dry.

    • 4

      Alternate between beads and mirrored tiles down the length of the fishing wire, leaving about 3 inches of wire at the end.

    • 5

      Tassel both ends of the wire with beads, layering them on both sides and tie off the wire to secure the beads in place.

Tips & Warnings

  • Hang mirrored wind chimes outside windows to draw flickers of light and color into your home.
