Making Wind Chimes from SilverwareIf you were wondering how to build unique wind chimes, here is one idea:You can make silverware wind chimes from miscellaneous utensils like spoons, knives and forks that you get at a thrift store. Start by carefully drilling holes in the handles. Make sure you know how to use power tools safely. I've read that you can take a fork, heat it and then carefully pull back each of the tines with pliers in a north, south, east, west direction so that the tines of the fork are curled. Then you can hang your utensils from the curled fork tines. Knives will make lower sounds than forks. Try hanging a spoon in the middle with forks all around it. Experiment to get pleasant sounds.
