The materials you will need are items that will make a pretty sound when they rub against each other (shells, beads, or perhaps old {utensils|silverware), something sharpened to poke a hole through each item, a hammer, string, a round item (a lid or piece of wood) for the top, and a hook to hang the wind chime.

Once all of the items are collected the adult should use the hammer and sharp object (such as a screwdriver) to make a hole in each object. If the item is too tough to make a hole in (like a rock) tie string around it numerous times till it is secured. After the holes are made tie a bit of string to each item.

Take your tools again and punch holes in the round lid that you are going to use, one for each item that you will be hanging from the wind chime. Thread the string through the hole and tie a knot so it won't fall back through. Poke two more holes in the lid and tie one piece of string through both holes and attach the hook.

All that is left is to find the perfect spot for your wind chime. Place it close enough so it can be heard through an open window on a breezy day. If the things do not knock against each other when the wind blows you could have to adjust the lengths of the string a number of times until you get it right. Keep an eye fixed on the wind chime to be certain it does not lose any of the pieces. If it does be certain to pick them up as they can pose a choking jeopardy to young children.
