Clothes Hanger Wind ChimeI love the subtle sound of a wind chime. The sound can be created to be as subtle or as loud as the pieces you use to create your chime.

Bottle Wind ChimesI make the wind chimes out of liquor bottles, wine bottles, and this one happens to be a wine cooler bottle. I use a glass cutter and cut off the bottom. I use a ceramic knife sharpener to smooth the sharp edges. If it has a screw on top, that's a plus.
