Let's make a handmade wind chime! Summer craft & interior decor

Arrange a wind chime kit! Natural wind chime

Want to make your own original wind chime but not sure how? Here’s a must-see tip: take a store-bought wind chime kit and tweak it just a little to create one that suits your taste.

You can find wind chime kits on Rakuten, Amazon, and even at large 100-yen shops.

This time, we’ll leave the bell part that makes the sound as is, and focus on the strip that hangs down.

If you live in a stylish, modern space, how about tying on a piece cut from an old necktie or a designer brand tag? For a room with an organic vibe, you could string together small branches or seashells.

It’s your original piece, so use whatever you like.

Oh, and an acrylic stand of your favorite idol or character could be super cute too!

[Construction Paper] Mini Wind Chime

(Construction paper) Summer decoration - Small and cute! How to make a wind chime [DIY]

I want to make a wind chime with materials I have at home! In that case, why not try making one with construction paper? The main body of the wind chime is made with paper quilling.

Paper quilling is a type of papercraft where you use parts made by rolling narrow strips of paper to create a design.

In this idea, you roll thin strips of paper to make parts, then push the centers outward to form the rounded shape of the wind chime’s body.

Work carefully so the shape doesn’t collapse.

Once the body is done, attach a string threaded with a tanzaku (paper strip) and beads to finish.

It doesn’t make a sound, but it’s a very lovely wind chime decoration.

capiz shell wind chime

[DIY] Capiz Shell Wind Chime 🎐 / Arranged with Summer Interior Goods from Natural Kitchen ♡

Do you know capiz shells? You often see them as wall decorations in Italian restaurants or decor in seaside cafés.

They have a look that makes you think, “Is that glass?” and when you see one you’ll probably go, “Oh, that thing!”—they’re quite common.

They’re said to be named after the town of Capiz in the Philippines, where they’re harvested in large quantities.

Let’s try making a wind chime with these capiz shells that look a bit like frosted glass.

The material itself is charming, and the sound they make when they touch is wonderfully cool and airy—you could almost say it’s finished just by linking the shells together! Combining them with parts you like, such as coral or starfish, would also create a nice vibe.

clear-file wind chime

[DIY] Make a wind chime with a clear file #windchimes #handmade #windchime

Let’s make a wind chime using a clear file, a material you probably have on hand.

First, open up the clear file and cut a piece measuring 20 by 8 centimeters.

The color of the clear file will become the base of the wind chime, so choose a color you like.

Attach double-sided tape along the short edge, then use a craft knife to cut it into 1-centimeter-wide strips.

Punch a hole in the center, then place two strips in a cross so the holes overlap and glue them together.

Using the pre-taped, ring-shaped string part, secure the ends of the cross-shaped pieces to form the wind chime.

Cut a 3 by 10 centimeter tanzaku (a hanging tag) and attach it, then decorate with your favorite stickers to finish.

If an adult handles cutting the parts, this is an idea that kids can enjoy making too.

Pressed flower sticker wind chime

Recommended for summer vacation crafts: Easy handmade wind chime tutorial using hydrangea pressed-flower stickers

Even if you’re not good at drawing or don’t feel confident about your design sense, you can easily make a stylish floral-patterned wind chime using stickers! All you need are pressed-flower stickers and the wind chime itself.

You can use store-bought stickers, or make your own by using real pressed flowers with film to create stickers and then attach them.

Once your materials are ready, just stick them on wherever you like! If you’re concerned about sticker edges or want to try a slightly more advanced method, using resin is also recommended.

Hang a cool-looking pressed-flower wind chime by the window and breeze through the hot summer!
