Wind Chimes ~ Just in time for spring!

As part of a little spring cleaning, we cleaned out the box of keys in our house. Are we the only people with keys to nowhere? Keys to locks that have been changed? Keys to cars that we don't have?  Well, it's somehow hard for me to throw those away. So, I squirreled them away in a jar. And here's what Mane made last week:




They're wind chimes! And they make a wonderful chime-y sound in the wind!

I realized later that, with the first one, we should have flipped the lid over so that the shiny gold side was facing down. This was a lid that we'd previously used over the top of a jar for a caterpillar. So, it already had a bunch of holes in it.

With the second one we used a dab of super glue on the top of the ring to keep the strings from sliding. We want them to stay spaced where we put them!

We were inspired by this post at Inner Child Giving: DIY Key Wind Chime.
