Making Wind Chimes

Making Wind Chimes
I use all sizes of natural wreaths as wind chimes. Going to a thrift store or yard sale, I look for the wreaths and gold dinner ware, or any unusual utensil. I drill holes in the dinner ware and using fishing line, tie them on the wreaths. The wreaths are level, which sometimes I use leather strands to make a "hanger" or I keep using the fishing line.There are so many ways to make wind chimes. I use colorful beads, odd chime tubes, one inch tiles that are glued to a one inch piece of wood. Dig through your jewelry box. Those old pearl earrings could possibly be a piece to a wind chime.

Clay Pot Wind Chime
We all love wind chimes. Me? I love the sound of wooden wind chimes. And this project allows you to have fun with your kids and create a chime made out of simple items.

Silverware Wind Chimes
Use old silver silverware for the best "sounds", and usually they are more ornamental than what you find in a dollar store or such.View This Craft: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf515101.tip.html
