	Unique Wind Chimes Make your porch sing There's nothing quite like sitting on your porch listening to the sound of unique wind chimes on a slightly breezy day.

Start by drilling holes in the handles. I've read that you can take a fork, heat it and then carefully pull back each of the tines with pliers in a north, south, east, west direction so that the tines of the fork are curled. Then you can hang your utensils from the curled fork tines. Knives will make lower sounds than forks. Try hanging a spoon in the middle with forks all around it. Experiment to get pleasant sounds.
