This is a fabulous idea especially if you live near the sea. I’m not particularly handy, but I do have lots of seashells collected over a lifetime so I can probably try making this to invite positive energy into the house. I’m hoping that the soft clinking sound will attract hummingbirds too. Because, yes, it’s migration time again.

Mason Jar Chimes, a garden sound craft, fast enough to squeeze into a lunch break and a statement worth the extra effort

Mason jar crafts are incredibly popular, and for good reason. This chime utilizes old pieces of costume jewelry and a mason jar cut in half. This project is a little more difficult and time consuming, as you’ll need to cut and sand the edge of the mason jar in addition to adding small holes to hang your chimes from. You can check out the complete tutorial from Saved By Love Creations.
