A DIY rain chain is not only decorative, but it is a great way to use nature to benefit your garden. Here are some great rain chain ideas for the next rain chain you add to your garden.
Pine Cone
I am a total pine cone lover, so this would be perfect for my garden. Another great idea from The Garden Glove was to smear some peanut butter on the pine cones and use it as a bird feeder.
Funnel
This great tutorial from Mother Earth gives us the instructions to make a great rain chain using funnels.
Small Pots
I love this idea to create an ombre rain chain. Use small pots to create this look. Directions are here.
Spoons
Such a cute idea from Birds and Blooms. Use spoons to create your rain chain. I am sure the sound they make is wonderful!
Glass Bottles
Drill holes into the tops of old bottles to make this rain chain.
Stones
The earthy feel of this rain train is gorgeous.

What did you use as spacers between the bottles?

Honestly you don’t need to use spacers, but I used anything that was shaped that had a hole in it for the chain ha.
