Home Made Shell Wind Chimes

Use shell collections for a garden decoration.

Material

Unknown Twine
1 Solid/sturdy Stick (found in the garden or on a walk
Unlimited A variety of shells collected

Method

Have an adult drill holes into all shells you would like to use for your wind chime.
Thread twine through the shells knotting it around each shell to keep in place. Use whatever length twine you would like and change spacing for interesting looking chimes.
Tie the shelled twine to the stick, using however many pieces of twine you wish.
Use one piece of twine to tie to each end of stick for use in hanging up, and there you have it a beachy home made wind chime.

Notes

Be sure to use and small drill piece and to do this AWAY from your children as it can get dangerous. The is for preparation time.

I love this idea! We collect so many shells when we go to the beach and they end up cluttering my daughter’s room!

What a great way to use up the shells children bring home from holidays at the beach a memento they will see all the time.
