10+ DIY Rain Chain Project Tutorials You Won’t Miss

Let’s play with rain with DIY rain chain projects. Rain chains, called kusari-doi, have been used for hundreds of years in Japan to channel rainwater off roofs. Make this one and place it near a deck or porch so you’ll be able to watch — but the real delight is in the tinkling sound of raindrops. They are a fun and attractive way to create movement in the garden, directing water in a stylish motion! They make a water feature out of the transport of rainwater from the guttering downwards to a drain or to a storage container. With just a few materials and a little bit of creativity you can easily make your own decorative rain chains, too. Check out the collection rain chain tutorials below to DIY your own for your garden.
