New Hanging Mobiles & Wind Chimes


I’ve been enjoying making some new hanging mobiles / decorative wind chimes this week. They are extremely therapeutic to make, especially as they can be done in front of the tv! These hanging decorations are made from a mixture of little charms including decorative pieces of my ceramics, sea shells, and coloured strips of glass. The individual ‘charms’ are attached onto lengths of copper or silver wire, and then attached to quirky twigs which I collected from my local country park last year.



I like to keep the colour themes for each mobile coherent throughout, and it’s fun choosing which ‘charms’ will go where before attaching them to the wire.


My hanging decorations make lovely natural decorative features for the garden, and make a delicate clinking sound when blown in the breeze.



Due to the individuality of each ‘charm’ that is used, each wind chime/mobile makes a completely unique and one-off item, and would make a perfect gift for Mother’s Day!


There are more photos on my facebook page.
I will be making more of these hanging decorations tonight whilst pigging out on nachos and watching Comic Relief 🙂


Happy Red Nose day!
