Things You'll Need:
- Shells, beads, or stones
- Nail, drill, holepunch
- String
- Glue
- Wicker wrap
-
Step 1
First select the items that you want for your wind chime, whether that is shells from the ocean, beads, stones, or anything that will make a sound when they collide together. After you get that together you will need to put a hole through them. This usually can be done with a nail, hole punch, needle, etc. This should be done ahead of time.
-
Step 2
Put string or thread through the hole in the item, remembering that heavier items may need to be wrapped and glued first.
-
Step 3
Take a wicker wrap, lid, or anything that can serve as the top of the wind chime and poke holes through the top and tie off the cord with the shell, or other object. After you get done pulling all the strings to all the objects through the top of the wind chime, place a small amount of glue at the hole to hold it.

Step 4
After the glue dries, place a loop of string for a tie off at the top. This will allow it to hang. When it is all dry, you can decorate with paint, glitter or anything the child desires.
