Our creative people take on wind chimes with found and vintage items vintage and/or thrifted pieces. We’re so proud of their re- sourcefulness. What do you have around the house that you could turn into a fun and whimsical wind chime this spring? The wind Sings W e love the sounds of spring, espcially the soothing, rhythmic ding, tap and clank of wind chimes. This time around we challenged our bloggers and Etsy sellers to craft wind chimes using mostly antique,

Raid Grandma’s sewing basket to create this whimsical wind chime, perfect for any craft lover. Made from a variety of vintage sewing and needlework notions, a simple embroidery hoop serves as a base for hanging aluminum knitting needles and metal thimbles. Hung with clear fishing line, they dance in the breeze, creating a sweet sound. A wooden spool of thread and embroidery floss finish the top for a little extra vintage charm.
