Why we love this project


This beautiful mason jar wind chime is made with colorful glass beads, a mason jar, and some floral wire. It’s the perfect project to use up your big bag of jewelry beads lying around! On top of adding a bit of personal flair to your outdoor space, the gentle sounds it makes as it blows in the wind add a touch of tranquility.

If you have a lot of leftover beads, head over to our Beaded Decorative Garden Stake for another outdoor decor project.

How to Make a Mason Jar Wind Chime


Preparing the beaded strands

  1. Cut 6 pieces of floral wire 20” long.
  2. Working one strand at a time, thread one of the larger glass beads with wire. Loop the end of the wire through the bead and wrap it around the other side to secure the bead in place. looping floral wire through bead
  3. Continue adding beads to the wire until your strand measures 10 ½” long. Loop the end of the wire through the last bead to secure in place. looping beads through floral wire
  4. Repeat with the remaining 5 pieces of cut wire to have 6 strands of beads in total. Put aside.
  5. Cut 3 pieces of floral wire 14” long.glass beaded floral wire

Assembling the wind chime

  1. Cut a piece of thicker gauge wire 18” long.
  2. Fold the ends of the beaded floral wire around the silver wire alternating the short strand with two longer strands. joining beaded wires together at the base
  3. Wrap the silver wire around the rim of the mason jar twice and wrap the ends together with a pair of pliers.

  5. Fold the shorter beaded strands upward and thread one large bead through all three wires. Next, fold the wire ends over to form a loop for hanging.beaded wire attached to mason jar
  6. Secure the longer beaded strands to the silver wire in a similar manner. Ensure you have about 1” of empty wire exceeding past the base of the mason jar. mason jar wind chime completed
  7. Cut another piece of floral wire about 3” long and wrap it around the top of the beaded strands just under the mason jar.

Fill the mason jar wind chime with pretty pebbles as we did here or even a small votive candle, then hang to enjoy!  I can imagine how pretty the colorful glass beads would appear at night when illuminated.
