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

  1. Have an adult drill holes into all shells you would like to use for your wind chime.
  2. 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.
  3. Tie the shelled twine to the stick, using however many pieces of twine you wish.
  4. 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.

  • Living close to the beach and visiting it often, I have a rather large she’ll collection. Brilliant, decorative way to put these shells to good use. Get them out of the box and put them on display

  • Thanks, my daughter always wants to bring shells home but we never let her as they would only go in the bin. Will have to let her now so we can try this. 🙂


    • All our shells go onto the tops of our pot plants.
