I love rain chains! I only recently found out about them, but I think that they’re wonderful. They’re kind of like windchimes, but with rain. The water falls down them (usually made of metal) and makes “music”. Chains also direct water downward, and some people use them as replacement downspouts on gutters. Others use them to direct water in their gardens. Personally, I like them only as decoration. If you’re interested in a rain chain of your own, check out this post by Kathy Woodard at the Garden Glove:
Birds and Blooms had this rain chain from spoons project, complete with instructions. I love the look of this, and using old flatware just makes it more interesting!
Burbs and the Bees made this cute pine cone rain chain.
Dollar Store crafts made this very cool wire and stone rain chain
