I have a down spout that is in desperate need of a rain chain so I was searching around looking for ways I could make one. This collection of 11 ideas is just what I needed to give me all sorts of ideas. I might mix them up use the cup part from one project and the base chain material from another. Pop on over to the blog Best Plants: Tips For Home and Garden to see the whole list of DIY rain chains. You can find 30 more rain chain ideas and artistic downspouts at Lushome. And this cookie cutter rain chain is a super cute idea at Hometalk.
We live in an apartment with no gutters or downspouts. We get lots of leaks and drips though. Would this be helpful at all?
