10 Diy Wind Chimes – A Relaxing Yard
Do you want a special set of wind chimes to give your garden, patio, balcony, or deck some personality? You’re in luck! You don’t have to go to an expensive home store to find what you want. Instead, take a look around your house, including the kitchen, garage, shed, and even the backyard. There are many things you can use to make DIY wind chimes that look nice and sound nice. Choose pieces that sound good when they hit each other when you’re looking for the right ones. Heavy things will take longer to hit each other unless you put the chimes in a place with a lot of wind. In the same windy place, fragile things made of glass or china could break. If there isn’t enough wind where you want to hang your chimes, hang one wide, flat piece lower than the others. It will catch the wind and start the music! Here are 12 different wind chimes that you can make yourself.
Flowerpot Wind Chimes
All you need to make a fun DIY wind chime to match your outdoor decor is a simple terra-cotta flowerpot, some fishing line, floral wire, a washer, acrylic paint, and flat pieces of glass shell. Otherwise, drill and string anything that may be used in place of the glass.

Wind Chimes With Keys
“Simple Darrling” has another bright idea for a wind chime. This is a simple DIY wind chime guide for their key. I love how they use bright colors and simple, repurposed materials. You could also choose a less bright color scheme. This would be a fun wind chime for kids to make together.

Bottle Top Wind Chimes
Save the tops of your plastic bottles to make wind chimes yourself. The brightly colored bottle caps from soft drinks and water bottles work well. This easy, fun project is great for kids to do together. Just string together some bottle caps and tie them to a branch.

Wind Chimes With Spray Paint
This DIY wind chime was designed by ‘Crafty Morning‘ using spray paint, metal washers, craft beads, and twine as a foundation. Make sure you spray paint in an open area with good air flow. This is another project where you can decide how it will look. Lots of colors, or just one or two? Sunset colors, or water colors? Depends on you!

Wind Chimes With Pencil and Rulers

Twigs Wind Chimes
This wind chime is probably the cheapest and easiest thing you can make. Get some long, flexible sticks that you can bend into a circle to make your base. Pick up some larger, more substantial sticks (such as twigs or tiny bits of hardwood) and string them together. Hang these lengths from your circle of twigs, and there you have it.
