Thread shells, pebbles, old keys, and wooden beads onto strings tied to a stick — hang the finished chime in the garden and hear it ring with every breeze. A creative, soothing craft needing only household odds and ends.

The Essentials

Steps

  1. Gather small objects with holes or that you can drill, such as shells, keys, pebbles, or wooden beads.
  2. Cut several lengths of string or fishing line.
  3. Thread the objects onto the strings in a pleasing order.
  4. Tie each string to a stick, hoop, or piece of driftwood.
  5. Hang the finished chime somewhere it will catch the wind, like a porch or a tree branch.

Tips

  • Mix materials that make different sounds, like metal and wood, for a richer tone.
  • Space the strings so the pieces can knock together freely without tangling.
  • Seal any wooden pieces with varnish if the chime will hang outdoors.
