Ever been at an antique store and caught yourself drooling over a silverware set you absolutely do not need? Speaking from experience here, you can now have your flatware cake and eat it too with this adorable DIY upcycled silverware wind chime tutorial!

All you need to make this sweet DIY project is a handful of silverware, some string, and your choice of extra decorative details like beads or lace to make this wind chime match your decor. This particular video shows how to add beads, but I actually prefer mine without any additions. There is no wrong answer though, so use your preferred craft supplies to make this project something you’re proud to hang in your home.

This is also the perfect craft to upcycle any antique silverware that may have been handed down to you through the years that’s just sitting in a cabinet and will never be used.
