Wind Chimes PDF Print E-mail

bead_shells_xs.jpgThere is nothing more magical than the tinkling of wind chimes. Making your own chime set is a great way to be creative, save money, and use up old things no longer serving a purpose around your home. You can, for instance, use washers, keys, tubes, pipes or bottle caps. 

  
For a less metallic wind chime, you could replace the keys with shells. Keep in mind, however, that your materials should be light enough to be hung and can collectively create a good sound.

If you want a two-tier wind chime, cut some longer strands as well

Attach each to a washer, key, or shell by tying with a knot.
