Make Your Own Wind Chimes
Wind chimes are a pleasurable addition to almost any patio, porch or garden. Gwen Schoen of the Sacramento Bee has posted a craft project making a wind chime from miniature clay pots. When the pots sway in the breeze and tap each other, they emit a soft clinking sound.
Whether it is for your own use, or as an activity to enjoy with the kids, this is a rather simple but rewarding craft project for a summer’s afternoon.
“With an adult drilling the holes, wind chimes are a good project for children old enough to use a ruler to measure. Let them pick out their own embellishments at local bead shops or dollar stores. The kids can make Christmas or other holiday gifts for the adults in their life, using ornaments that typify that adult’s interests or home color scheme,” Schoen writes.
