I learned about feng shui recently and had the opportunity to have my house read by a friend who is very experienced at feng shui. One of the things he told me was that it was good energy to hang wind chimes in the bathrooms. I asked if I could make them, and he told me the energy was greater anytime the object was handmade. I have two bathrooms (my son’s and mine). I have yet to design mine, but decided to go with a beachy theme for his bathroom (as it is also the guest bathroom for visitors, too. I had the twine/rope in stash, the sea glass beads in stash, and I went beach combing specifically for small shells with naturally occurring holes to have on hand for a craft project (so technically in stash as well). The metal ring and the dried starfish were both purchased at a large craft store. Each one was under $2. My heart is so happy with this creation. I absolutely LOVE it. It took very little time to make, so I think it would make a WONDERFUL holiday gift, too.
