DIY Sea Glass Wind Chimes

4 January 2024

I recently saw on Facebook an advertisement for a sea glass wind chime class in the area. It was $60.

I googled and found a blog on making one.. I found this site:
I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the supplies (about $15 total); and found a nice stick in the back yard.

It was a pain in the butt to make (the glue came out too quickly from the tube and the fishing line was thin and hard to tie) but I'm very pleased with the results. This was a 2-day project in order to let the glue dry completely (unlike the DIY instructions that stated to wait 30 minutes for each side). Total time was about four hours.

My notes:  

Allow for extra length of fishing line on both ends to help tie together easily. It's better to have extra for tying than not enough.  

I also tied the fishing line on the top of the top glass and also bottom glass. Glue the ends of the rope so the don't fray. 


I have sea glass from Bermuda and plan to do another one with a star fish as the top portion.
