Best Wind Chimes for Gardens
A wind chime in the right spot — caught by a regular breeze, not a gale — adds gentle music to a garden without effort. The wrong wind chime is loud, jangly, drives the neighbours mad, and goes silent in still air. B
I’ve teamed up with some awesome bloggy friends to bring you Christmas in July!
Every Wednesday in July we will be sharing and linking up Christmas themed projects! I hope you’ll check in each week for fabulous Christmas ideas and inspiration!
It’s never too early to be inspired by Christmas ideas!
Choose a ribbon and start wrapping it tightly round a cookie cutter. Secure with a dab of hot melt glue at the end.
Aren’t these cute? They are so easy to make too.
I recommend using soft ribbon without the inserted wire.
The size of the cookie cutter will determine how much ribbon you need. For the Large star I used about 6-/12 feet of ribbon.
If the ribbon you have is too short to wrap the entire cookie cutter, just cover the outside or the inside edge with ribbon.
It may be July, but these adorable ornaments belong on a tree. Aww, look how cute they are hanging in my apple tree. It’s beginning to feel (a little) like Christmas!
We invite you to hop around and visit the other projects being shared and join in the fun! We’d love for you to link up your own Christmas posts. New or older posts are welcome! See you next Wednesday for more Christmas In July!
Thank you!

Up-lighting a feature tree transforms a yard from day-functional to evening-worth-sitting-in. Solar spotlights eliminate the wiring concern; modern units are bright enough to genuinely illuminate a 5m tree from below. We
