    I literally made this video without any planning because I was so frustrated with NOT being able to find directions to make this thing! I am a hot mess express, but if you need help like I did, then this video should do it.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You should have your own show! You have an awesome personality! I 100% related to you. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. I opened these chimes with my daughter. We were so excited and there were zero instructions. Your video helped us complete our chimes after we had finished painting them. I said “someone had to have made instructions on CZcams” and that was you!!! thank you so much for this!

    Thank you 😊. I also want to share that the bead goes under the wooden circle and then tie a knot under the bead to keep the circle balanced. Thanks again for your help!

  • @laurenpoyner267
    @laurenpoyner267 Před 2 lety

    You are a life saver!! I tried searching the internet for instructions too lol like why would they not include how to assemble it? Are we all supposed to just be geniuses and know just by looking at the parts how to put one together if we never saw the finished product? 😂

  • @amieschiess6107
    @amieschiess6107 Před 2 lety

  • @sarahmitchell7901
    @sarahmitchell7901 Před 2 lety

    You’re hilarious; your commentary at time had me cracking up. I just got this today and said who in the world has an activity kit that requires assembly and doesn’t include directions for it? Will definitely be rewatching this when we go to assemble.

  • @johnnordloh1942
    @johnnordloh1942 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for this! One improvement would be to pass the string through each chime and tie the ends together once they are drawn through adjacent holes on the circle piece. So one end of each string ends up sharing a hole with another. This creates an inverted triangle to hang each chime and prevents them from becoming tangled in the wind.

  • @britneywebster8600
    @britneywebster8600 Před 2 lety

    Amazingly AMAZINGLY helpful video! I had 2 to assemble and after the first one I melted the string ends with a lighter to keep them from fraying every time you pulled them through. I think if I ever did this again, I would forego their string and use fishing line.

  • @janetwilliams881

    @tamaravargas1 Před 3 lety

    Thank you so much. I bought a 4th of July version of this for my granddaughter. She had fun paimting it but without your help, I'd never been able to put it together. God Bless You 😇 I don't have a glue gun so I sevured the flat round with a bobby pin & weighted down the chimes with bobby pins because I couldnt not the string without making them go sideways.😜
