Man I did not know these were so easy to make thanks! These are sold here everywhere. They are so cool spinning in the wind. A lot of them I have seen have a glass bead or small ball attached in one of the spirals. When is spins the bead looks like it is moving up and down. So cool!

Love it - anything copper actually. (Is copper theft a problem everywhere? In Alabama, thieves tear up a/c units at churches and businesses to get the copper wires to sell for salvage, causing more damage of course than the copper is worth). I wanted copper curtain rods in my dining room, so I use copper spray paint on some metal rods I found on sale.

Nice
But saves meth-heads the trouble of breaking in to steal your copper.
