Creative And Beautiful DIY Rain Chains

I'll admit it, I've got a thing for rain chains. I love the sound of rain. I love the smell of rain.
I love a good thunderstorm. I even love songs about rain! And I love rain chains.
I think they're so pretty and add a unique touch to a home.
What's a rain chain you ask?

Popular in Japan, rain chains are known as kusari doi, and have been around for
hundreds of years. Hung from a roof gutter, they are used to collect rain water in
barrels or basins that are placed below the chain's end. They are also used to direct rain
water away from the home (as a modern downspout does). Not only are rain chains an
attractive alternative to traditional downspouts, but they can also add unique interest and
beauty to your home's exterior garden landscape.

How about making your own rain chain?
Read on to check out some great rain chain ideas and be inspired! DIY spoon rain chain project with instructions from Birds & Blooms. I really like this
