Making Dowsing Rods

Materials Needed:

• Coat hanger made completely of metal (no cardboard pieces)
• Drinking straw
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• Wire-cutting pliers

Instructions:

1. Use the pliers to cut the curved top of the hanger just below the twisted section of wire (this will require two cuts). This will leave you with one piece of wire with two bends.
2. Now measure the longest section of the metal piece and mark the halfway point.
3. Use your pliers to snip the hanger where you made your mark. Now you have two pieces of wire, each with a bend.
4. Reshape each piece of wire so that each wire has a 90 degree bend.
5. Take one of the metal pieces and measure both lengths of metal on either side of the curve. Snip both the short and long lengths so that the long length is three times as long as the short length. For example, if the short length is 3 inches then the long length should be 9 inches.
6. Do the same for the other rod.
7. Using the scissors, snip a piece from the drinking straw so that the straw is slightly shorter than the short side of the rod.
8. Slide the drinking straw over the short side of the rod, then use the pliers to bend the end of the rod so that the straw can’t slide off. The straw allows you to hold the rod while allowing it to swing freely.
9. Repeat the process to make your second rod.
