Wind chimes from natural materials Very simple in making but really extraordinary gift from natural materials is a wind chime. Paint some elements (pebbles and seashells) of the future wind chimes, if there is such a need. Tie two sticks like the cross and tie the center of this cross with a twine. Cut 9 twine strings of the desired length and start to string beads or other details on it. By the way, especially sonorous elements should be placed opposite each other, so that their tinkling in the wind can be heard better. At the end of each string you should tie a knot. After each thread is finished, tie them to the crossed sticks. Bouquet hanger Bouquets of narrow long dried flowers and branches can be hung "upside down", fastened with a band. If you add a couple of cinnamon sticks to the composition, you will get a great fragrance in the room. «Sky» from leaves You can hang lots of leaves, each on a separate rope, from the ceiling. Such decor will look organic both above the table in the dining area or the crib in the nursery. Autumn lamps If you put a light garland in a basket with cones and leaves, you will get an amazing lamp that looks like nothing you’ve seen before. You can add volume and lightness to the composition with the help of transparent balls of twine. Handmade crafts are the best gifts. They reveal the beauty of nature, enclosing a part of the soul in each of them. Such gifts are so special, and every time you look at them, you feel the warmth, kindness, and comfort coming from nature itself.
