Making Wind Chimes

Question

Does anyone have a special technique for making all sort of different wind chimes, how to put them together, maybe doing some that are themed, like looking like for a golfer, or using butterflies, angels, fishing theme, or any other different ways to make these type of items.

Ho ho I make wind chimes, mobiles and t-lights and have done so for over 10 years now. I do craft events and shows to sell my product. It is a hard sell market as it is a destination not an essential need market. I use driftwood and repurpose a large number of items.. Are you looking to sell what you make? Or is this for your own use.? there are no set rules. The way to make them depends on what you hope the end look will be. Let me know if I can help I will. carolferne@shaw.ca

I make wind chimes out of old silver plated flatware and glass beads. I do themed ones, as well. This one is a silver plate coffee/tea pot with a coffee and donut themed beading. Sorry for the crummy pic!

Kmdreamer · Answer

You could make wind chimes from anything wood sticks to hand clear string and hang flattened silver were from it or cut a wine bottle. In half put a pin in the cork with wire to hang it and hang things from the bottle
