The sound of a wind time in the summertime breeze is very relaxing and making one can occupy the kids for an afternoon. Some families even turn this hobby into a part-time home business to help youngsters find out more about earning money all alone.

The materials you’ll need are items that will make a pretty sound when they rub against each other (shells, beads, or even old {utensils|silverware), something sharp to stab a hole thru each item, a hammer, string, a round item (a lid or piece of wood) for the top, and a hook to hang the wind chime.

Once all of the items are picked up the adult should use the hammer and sharp object (like a screwdriver) to make a hole in each object. If the item is too tough to make a hole in (like a rock) tie string around it numerous times until it is secured. After the holes are made tie a chunk of string to each item.

Take your tools again and punch holes in the round lid you are going to use, one for each item that you’ll be hanging from the wind chime. Thread the string thru the hole and tie a knot so that it will not fall back through. Poke two more holes in the lid and tie one piece of string thru both holes and attach the hook.

All that is left is to find the ideal spot for your wind chime. Place it close enough so that it can be heard thru an open window on a breezy day. If the items do not knock against each other when the wind blows you will have to adjust the lengths of the string a couple of times until you get it just right . Keep an eye fixed on the wind chime to be sure it does not lose any of the pieces. If it does be sure to pick them up as they can pose a choking hazard to babies.
