As I promised, with a bit of delay, but I'll show you how the snailshell wind chime is made.
#1 Collect some empty snail shells (you'll need 22 pieces of similar size but you'd better collect more) and wash them carefully. After drying, drill a 2 mm hole on them, at the mouth. Be careful, snailshells are very fragile.
#2 Cut a 9 cm diameter disc from plywood and drill 10 holes on it, like this. 3 holes for the hanger and 7 for the snailshell flaggings:
#3 Paint the shells and the disc as you like with acrylics and media ink:
#4 Lace the shells with a packing-needle on a strong twine, fix them with knots. The knots must be bigger than the holes on the shells! You'll have 6 flaggings with 3 shells per one, and one with 4 (in the middle)
#5 Fix the flaggings (6+1 pieces) on the disc with knots. You can use a needle.
#6 Cut 3 pieces of 20-25 cm twines, then make the hanger by knotting them on the disc. You cannot see the knots in this picture, because they are on the bottom of the disc.
#7 Hang your chime on a tree, relax and listen to its beautiful sound!

I wish I could hear the sound :)
You can hear it in this video:
Cool!
A lot of wind sounds though, whaha.
Wao, they are truly beautiful, colorful and should make a relaxing sound, similar to the sound of the sea, I did not know them, thanks for sharing the way to elaborate them, congratulations
Thank you! It is really easy to make them, children would also love it.
Sooo GROOOVY! Love, love, love it @kalemandra. Unfortunately, I don't leave near a beach but I think I can buy these seashells somewhere.
Thanks my dear! These shells are not from the beach but from the bushes. You know Hungary has not any seaside.
Ahh I got it. We have similar species here but these are huge!
I love the colorful 🐚 s.
Thanks, dear @erikah!
My pleasure!
