Canning rings

I bought a bag full of canning rings at my thrift store an hope that I can make cute wind chimes with them. I'd love any ideas you can share, especially about the kind of string I should use. I want it strong enough for a secure construction but flexible enough to allow for lots of movement.
thanks Linda

I know this Hometalker didn't use canning rings to make her windchimes, but I thought maybe you could use her technique:

Jute twine would work or heavy duty fishing line.
I wonder if a thinner chain suited for outdoor use ( non rusting) would work? They sell chains by the foot at big box hardware store.
Additionally I have also replaced some of my commercial winds chime strings with cording from jewelry making areas in craft stores. Theres all sorts of colors in nylon cording. You may want to see what's available there Looking for something that wont rot when exposed to your weather conditions.
