Step 1

Get a terracotta pot and paint it with flowers, trees, swirls, and more --- whatever your heart desires. Remember, the pot will be hanging upside down. Let the pot dry completely.

Step 2

Cut garden twine into strips about 1-2 feet long. Thread the twine with shells, beads, buttons, and more.

Step 3

Turn your pot upside down and pull each strand of twine through the hole in the top of the pot. Gather all the twine and tie a large knot to hold them in place.

Step 4

Tie a long piece of twine in the opposite direction as your pot to act as your pot wind chime hanger. Place your wind chime in a tree where you can easily see and hear it.
