This is Suzy from SuzysSitcom. My husband and I have been living full time in our RV and traveling the country since Currently, we are working on a farm in New York, but in the past, we have worked many different campgrounds across the United States. That said, a few years ago we found ourselves in a campground in the Boston area. It was a beautiful campground, but full of folks that loved to toss their bottle caps everywhere. During our summer stay there, I collected nearly bottle caps, knowing that a project would eventually come to mind. And now it has! This project has amazing results but takes a bit of preparation.

Use three jump rings between each bottle cap.

I have enough to make 3 chimes now!! My local bar set out a jar for me. This project has amazing results but takes a bit of preparation. Hook the length of wire through the bottle cap's hole. Now, repeat this process with the remaining length of wire and another bottle cap. Got them all washed and smelling nothing like beer now, and so it's time to go and get the other supplies! Hi Trina, I found your blog via Pinterest, and had collected bottle caps for at least 6 months in order to make this wind chime. Didn't know if you had seen the Beer Can House. In my opinion, it's easiest to just eyeball it and adjust the chain links until you find a length that's pleasing to you. Sign me up. Suzy and her husband live in a RV as they travel the country. I like this Pinterest Challenge thing too btw.. The Finished Product.

If you want your wind chime to look "fuller," you could easily add more bottle cap chains down the middle to make it look more dense. Sorry to say I've looked at my history on ebay and can't find what size jump rings I purchased, but they are pretty large. Already have a WordPress. Try to vary the colors as best as you can as you go. Search for: Search. If you need to, punch holes in the base to add the jump rings to. Keyword: bottle cap wind chime. It quickly became a fun treasure hunt. I used a block of wood underneath the cap to support it and give the punch something to go into.
