Shell Wind Chime of my Dream

If you don't remember this fun fact about me I absolutely love anything that tinkles or makes noise when it moves.

 Problem one... I don't have anything that tinkles. 

 Problem two... I have a tote full of seashells collecting dust in my closet.

Solution... make a seashell wind chime!

What I needed for this project.

- seashells (I sure didn't need to buy any of these.)

- fishing line ( I used between 5lb and 8lb test.)

- three rings ( large, medium, and small)

- clear round beads

- drill (and plenty of really small drill bits)
- one ring ( I used a large key chain ring.)

Sorry I don't have any pics of the process but here is the finished project.

The largest ring has 3 rows of 16 shells.

The medium ring has 3 rows of 25 shells.

The small ring has 1 row with 10 strings and 5 shells per string.

I was really excited that I got the shells on the largest ring to cascade all the way around in an obvious way.

I LOVE the way this looks from below!

PS. If you were curious about how many shells I used but didn't want to do the math, the grand total of seashells was... 173!

PPS. I still have more shells I have to use!  Any suggestions are welcome!
