Using Old Silverware to Make Wind Chimes

Hi Friends,

How are you doing ? Are you still in quarantine?

I haven't felt very creative lately, so I 'm just going through my

craft supplies today-

I had a couple of bags of silverware that were

left over from other projects.

These pieces were well worn and tarnished.

I would not be able to use these for the jewelry and key chains that I make.

Some were cut and most were already flattened with

a rubber mallet.

I was able to put together several sets.

I planned to use a fork for the hanger and 4 spoons for the chimes.

The fork tines or prongs were bent with pliers.

I alternated the tines, 1 forward then 1 backwards.

I drilled a hole at the top of the spoon.

My husband helped with this one so I could take a picture.

I used 1/4 LB. fishing line.

Most of my chimes were hung with

an 18'' piece of line in half and tied with a knot.

The wind chime below has different length of fishing line and I added


glass beads.


The spoons were hung from a tea ball.

They are easy to make.

It kept me busy for the day!

They sound so pretty-

I am planning to give one to my neighbor and one for my Mom

for Mother's Day.

We are still on lock down here!

So I am trying my best to use only what I have on hand.



You can hear their relaxing sound below,
