We saw this windchime over at Tudal Winery (a family-friendly winery by the way).
It really struck me with its simplistic beauty, and thrifty means of repurposing materials.
And with all the empty bottles we have around, it’s easily created.
Plus, it’s a great way to showcase that special bottle and delight in the memories of the time you enjoyed it.
You can do one for your home too.
- Collect 16 bottles, ideally in different colors
- Soak the bottles in water until the labels are soft enough to scrape off (or not, if you want to leave them on)
- Remove the capsules (or not, if you want to leave them on)
- Put the corks back into the bottles (or not, but the clear bottles look particularly interesting with corks)
- Using a long piece of hefty twine, tie a loop around the neck of each bottle
- Hang in spot where you’ll get a nice breeze (but not too windy)
- Relax and enjoy the soft sounds of your windchime
