Wind chimes can add a relaxing and beautiful touch to your outdoor area. Even though you can buy wind chimes at any garden or home store, you can also make your own using objects that may ordinarily be thrown into the recycling bin. For example, you can make a handmade wind chime out of colored glass bottles. Once finished, you can hang up the chimes in your garden to add a lovely ambiance.
