I was challenged to create a DIY wind chime out of vintage/found materials.
I bought a set of 15 keys from eBay for about $10 and spray painted them in bright, fun colors.
Then I gathered the rest of the materials that I had on hand.
+ 10-15 metal keys
+ Mason jar outer lid/ring (large)
+ String
+ Scissors
+ 4 metal binder clips
+ Spray paint
+ Fishing wire
I used a spray painted outer lid from a large mason jar as the base to hold it all together. This string won’t be very visible, FYI. To start, I tightly clipped the string to all 4 sides of the jar in a T shape
Next, I flipped the lid upside down and ran some fishing wire through each of the 4 clips.
I connected 3-4 keys to each of the 4 fishing wire strands so that they overlap a bit.
Next, I tied all 4 key strands to the T shape string at each corner.
To finish, flip the clips upward and tie a piece of string through 2 of them for easy hanging.
Hang, then step back and admire.
It sounds absolutely beautiful. Not bad for $10 and a little creativity. 🙂

This is an awesome idea for a wind chime. These keys are going to make the coolest sounds when the wind starts blowing. Not to mention all of those keys look great hanging from the custom made holder. I'll have to try this some day in my own back yard. http://www.this-n-thatgifts.vegas/np1-listing-dept-30090
