Who woulda thunk that if you cut cheap conduit pipe just right, you can hang it from a ribbon, thunk it with a mallet, and it will make a pretty sound?

My genius parents made this set of chimes for me to use in FHE or Primary. Well, the note inside the box said that the gift was for my kids, but I’m pretty sure that there was some mistake and that the chimes are REALLY for me. Because I LOVE them.

(And so do my kids.)

Here are some links that my parents used as resources to help them make the chimes:
