Make-it-Yourself Flower Pot Wind Chimesby Patricia A. ZieglerThese natural-looking flower pot wind chimes will add a touch of charm to any porch or breezeway. They are simple to make, and can be left out in all weathers. Best of all, they cost you nearly nothing! Here's all you need:
Ready: If your pots have been around the block a few times, you might need to give them a bath. Scrub them with hot soapy water and a stiff brush. After they have dried, check their physical condition by tapping gently with a fingernail. A clean, dry, undamaged pot will reward you with a resonant ring.

Repeat the above for each of the other four pots. You're done! From the eaves of your breezeway or porch, hang each pot upside down by the curtain ring. Now mix up a batch of lemonade, and invite the neighbors up on the porch to enjoy the gentle sound of your beautiful new flower pot wind chimes!
