My kids are loving wind chimes. Totally fascinated. To kill two birds with one stone (craft time and wind chime ownership) on the cheap, I have started looking online for tutorials for homemade wind chimes. There are some really cool ideas out there so I thought I’d share! It’s such a great way to reuse things around the house, like old keys. I LOVE the idea of using all those sea shells I’ve collected on vacations that are just sitting in a box somewhere in the basement. Or, for a “quieter” wind chime, you can use pine cones that you hunt for at the park!
