Celtic Chimes

DIY Celtic Chimes hanging from window | Alex Inspired

Ok, so my good friend Captain Crunch dropped off a few awesome items for me. Don’t worry his name isn’t really Captain Crunch; he also goes by Captain Chaos.

He always brings me the coolest things. In this batch there were four silver “bell like” objects. Each has some sort of Celtic design motif (thistles, knots etc.).

What to do… what to do…
Does anyone know what these are? I feel like they should hang off drones on bagpipes. Anyway, I used some newspaper and polished them up. See the difference? Real silver… oooo, ahhhh.
