Silverware Windchimes have been on my "Craft To-Do" list for quite a while. I've accumulated some silverware and kitchen utensils from various thrift stores this spring. The boys will take their windchimes to the fair so it was time to get this project moving.
Emmet is drilling a hole in a knife.
We tied fishing wire through the hole in the silverware and knotted it. Then we decorated it with beads.
Ephraim chose a whisk for his top piece and was able to decorate it with beads as well.
The girls loved this craft as well.
Our finished windchimes!
You can see that Eden chose shredder for her top piece. She choose beads of a different color for each of her four silverware pieces.
Ephraim went with red and white beads and a whisk for his top piece
Emmet did red and white beads and another shredder for the top piece.
Eliza chose green, yellow and purple beads and she has a heart cookie cutter for her top piece.
There happened to be four hooks on our gutters so it was simple to hang them. They are each standing by their windchime. And thankfully, they haven't blown off and broken!
Here's a close-up of each windchime:
Ephraim:
Emmet:
Eden:
The chimes are lovely to listen to--not to much and not too little noise.
"My heart is steadfast, O god; I will sing and make music with all my soul." Psalm 108:1
