Glass Wind Chimes

How To Transform Your Life And Your Yard

Think of them as alfresco diamonds.

They sing melodies on every breeze and bring peaceful energy to your outdoor space, whatever the size or location.

Glass chimes have an exotic and spiritual history, too.

Chinese glass chimes are called Fu-rin.

Some believe the sound keeps spirits at bay while the wind foretells your destiny.

All this history is fascinating...but real magic happens when the right light touches the glass chimes!

Then you get to see them in all their fabulosity!

Did you know that making glass chimes is serious business?

Oh, yeah!

Some manufacturers even patent their frosting and glass polishing techniques.

And glass chimes are weather worthy under normal conditions.

Glass holds up remarkably outside.

But if the weather gets really extreme, hang them in the house, or in a protected area of the yard.

My Glass Wind Chimes

 

Here is my attempt at making glass wind chimes like the red and clear glass chimes in the pictures below this one.

It wasn't hard at all. You could probably do a better job than I did.

I got the old keys (the rusted keys) from an Ebay auction really cheap and polished them up before using them.

My husband scrounged up the newer keys for me. The drift wood and glass beads came from a country store in the Smoky Mountains. The copper I got from Home Depot or Lowes.

I can't remember which. And the blue bottle at the top came from Carolina Pottery.

It probably cost me a total of $20 to make. When I first completed this project, all the copper was shiny and the keys looked like highly polished silver, so it looked a lot better.

The keys are pretty rusted now and the copper has dulled a bit, and the dift wood looks a little partched. I should have never put this one outside.

So we'll call this a glass wind chimes object lesson.
