Recycled Key Wind Chime


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 239 Posts

Key Wind ChimeTake some old keys from long forgotten or lost padlocks, wrecked and binned suitcases, your granny's replaced wooden front door, and the key to untold riches which never quite fitted the lock and make them bright and colorful. Tie them and hang them to make beautiful music when the cold windy weather would otherwise make you miserable.

Supplies:

Key Wind Chime
 

Steps:

  1. Paint your keys. Nail varnish will work better than acrylic paint.
  2. Key Wind Chime
     
  3. You will need much patience waiting for several coats to dry. See how I have recycled breakfast cereal packaging to protect my work surface. This has a feel good effect even if it doesn't do much to save the planet.

  5. Tie ribbons and braids to the keys

  7. Tie the other ends to your stick I used a spent raspberry cane which worked nicely.

This is an interesting project to try and do. Different weights of keys make different sounds.

When I make mine I think I will thread the ribbon through the key and bring it back up, maybe tying a tie at the key top. This makes them hang evenly.
