Beach Crafts - Wind Chimes

Many have found that the right combination of melodic sounds produced by a wind chime go well with many environments.

Your sea glass as well as sea shells added to a wind chime makes it pleasing to the eyes as well as to the ears.

The following instructions can be adapted to make your own sea glass mobile or sea glass suncatcher.

Beach Crafts - Wind Chimes

Steps to making sea and glass wind chimes:

1. Shop around for a wind chime that produces a sound you like.

Since sea glass is solid, it will not by itself make a real wind "chime" sound.

2. Once you find a wind chime that you like, you can replace some of the strands with sea glass and sea shell strands. 

You might want to leave several strands of the chimes themselves next to each other so that they do bump together to produce that pleasing music in a light breeze.



If it is not the sound or tone of tubular or other wind chimes that you are looking for, you may decide to make a sun catcher or mobile instead.

Just adapt the above instructions for the sea glass wind chimes project to fit your sun catcher or sea glass mobile.

Our viewers have submitted examples of sea glass wind chimes ranging from easy to more difficult wind chimes.

Even a more basic wind chime made from beach glass provides a conversation piece and a nice way to use your beach treasures.

I am so fascinated by sea glass - I can’t believe at 70 I found a new hobby.

Thanks for the opportunity to search and read up on this!


Sonja

Your site made me so happy tonight! Why?

Many happy memories swirled back into my mind when I saw your pictures. I spent my childhood on the beaches of Cape Cod and we spent many happy hours looking for sea glass.


Candee

It is a pleasure and refreshing to meet people in the sea glass community that are willing to share! I got some great tips from your site. It was wonderful not to spend my entire vacation looking for a beach. Thanks again!

Hi David and Lin.

Love your sea glass web site. I enjoy your picture of the month and intend on winning at least once.

I have been collecting and creating things from sea glass for over twenty years. I find my sea glass on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland Ohio.

Thank you for sharing your treasures with me.” Yours truly,

Cathy Lincks

Just wanted to let you know (since you were so helpful) that I won a blue ribbon (1st place) in Gifford Middle School Science Fair in the category of Environmental Science with my topic - Effect of a Florida Tidal Inlet on Wrack Line Sea Glass Volume.

Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.

Thanks,


Mary Hyde

I am beginning to be a typical sea glass hunter - always looking for fun places to find glass!
