INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open new white canvas 200x400.

2. Path Drawing Tool - 3dmode - custom shape- divider3 - border 10-depth 10 -any color, draw a shape approx 205x60-Go to you Material Attribute Gallery -Metallic-Use copper 2 or any other of yourr choice.

3. Path Drawing Tool - 3d - shape - rectangle- same gold preset border 4 & depth 30 -draw a shape approx 5x185. Right click, duplicate this 6 more times. Then go to your transform tool - shorten each one a little more than the previous one, as shown.

4. Using line & drawing tool - spline - 3d - same gold preset, border 1 - I then drew 7 strings to attach to the tubes, merge each one.

5. Next, hold ctrl key and select each of the hanging tubes, right click and space evenly - horizontal then move into place.

6. Line & Arrow Tool - spline - 3d - same gold preset - border 1 draw 3 lines in between the tubes, each a little longer than the previous.

7. Line & Arrow Tool - spline - 3d - border - 1 - same gold preset as before - draw lines from the top up for a hanger.

8. Outline Drawing Tool -3d - same gold preset -circle - border size 2 -draw a shape approx 20 by 20 and place at top of hanger. I then drew a second circle and placed on top of the first one, but that is entirely up to you.

9. Line & Arrow Tool again -same settings - (3d gold preset-border 1) draw a line from the top of the hanger in the middle. Using any shape you want I used custom shape star 3 - place at end of line.

   From there on out I made different shapes from the regular shape category of the path drawing tool with the exception of the star and I made my own saturn with the circle shape and the outline drawing tool, circle shape - erased part of the circle and merged as single object. I also added shapes to the top part of the windchime strings above the tubes. Decorate any way you like and have fun!
