I used paint can openers (keys), fishing line, a cast iron hook, small wire hooks, part of a decorative anemometer and a blue glass ornament that I found in the basement to make this wind chime.
I get a kick out of using old discarded items to make something new. This one has more of a "country" look to it. It tinkles in the wind.
Sometimes when I look at it, it seems like a pile of junk hanging on fishing line! Anyway it was fun.
Last time I used parts from old broken wind chimes. It's the one on the left. It made it through hurricane Sandy without any damage! I hope the new one will last.

This is great. I'm actually making one of these this week for my husband for father's day. I have a friend who gave me a box of paint can keys and my first thought was a wind chime. This is how i stumbled across your blog.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making it. It takes some time to get everything lined up. Good luck!
DeleteI just joined your blog.
Dear John
ReplyDeleteyour work is really very good.
I am also trying to make a chime of wood and light metal, like Alm
I have a pic of chime. Can I request you to explain the function of this chime.
Dear Shahnawaz,
DeleteI'm sorry I've not been keeping up with my blog lately. I'm trying to self publish a paperback version of my novel. It's more difficult than I imagined!
I'll explain it in a post when I catch up. In the meantime I joined your g+
