Beaded DIY Wind Chimes For Kids

Jewelry· Kids Stuff· Summer

It’s Summertime here and what’s the best thing to keep the kids busy? A craft project of course!!  My kids LOVE working on new craft projects everyday, it just helps break up the day around here. One project that they’ve been wanting to do was make a wind chime for our yard.  We decided to just make a classic wind chime with some driftwood and beads. Follow along to learn how to make DIY wind chimes for kids!

This is a great project for kids of any age, but I do suggest helping kids 6 and under with this. I can even see this project being made at Summer Camp!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY wind chimes for kids:

  • Driftwood Pieces
  • Acrylic Craft Paint
  • Glass Beads
  • Painter’s Tape
  • Jute
  • Small Gold Eye Hooks:
  • White Beading Thread

DIY Wind ChimeStep 1 – Paint Stick.

Now this part is where the kids can get as creative as they want.  We decide to paint our stick first, just giving it some extra detail.  They can freehand or tape off, whichever works best.

DIY Wind ChimeOnce it’s dry they can add some more details with a fine paint brush.  I also think adding some glitter paint would be a fun addition as well!

DIY Wind ChimeStep 2 – Add Hooks.

Let’s add our hooks.  Now this is the part that an adult will have to help with.  The hooks actually go into the driftwood pretty easily.  Just mark the spots and start twisting them into place. For a younger child this might be hard to do, but you can always get it started for them and they can finish it.

 

DIY Wind ChimeStep 3 – Add Beads.

Now let’s add our beads!!  When adding the beads I had no rhyme or reason. I was just mixing them up as best as I could.

DIY Wind ChimeStep 4 – Add Hanger.

Now let’s hang it up! I added two more of the hooks at each end of the wind chime. Then used some jute to hang it up!

So how fun is this DIY wind chimes for kids craft?!?  I LOVE all the bright colors.  It will totally make a statement in the yard this Summer and the kids can be proud to show it off to everyone!

    Any tips for getting the eye screws into the wood. I purchased the ones from Consumer crafts shown above and I haven’t been able to get one in yet. Did you pre-drill a hole?

    Did you double the beading thread?

    I want to do this with the after school craft club I run. Thanks

      Sorry, it greatly varies due to the different sizes of each piece.
