Bamboo Wind Chimes - Wind Chimes Are Best For Relaxing

Wind chimes are objects that relax your mind and soul through the soft soothing sound effect it creates. They are the most wonderful creations of mankind. There are a wide range of categories of chimes available. These chimes are created with bamboo, metal, wood and stained glass. The metal wind chimes are usually made of brass, copper or pewter. These chimes sometimes have bells attached to them which blow with the occasional touch of wind. The metal chimes also come in various shapes resembling flowers and animals. Various kinds of sounds are produced by the chimes which depend on the size of the chime. The large metal chimes usually create a deep sound while soft tones are produced by smaller chimes.


Wind chimes have been a part of the Chinese culture for hundreds of years. According to the Chinese Feng Shui beliefs the wind chimes are a symbol of good luck and prosperity and peace. One of the most popular positive sources of energy is bamboo. Hence wind chimes made of bamboo can produce good luck in your home and life. These chimes are placed in your house and with the gentle breeze they bring in fortune in your life.


One can also grow bamboo plants in the garden and use them to create wonderful looking bamboo chimes. To make the chimes, first cut the bamboo pines into various lengths and sharpen one end to a point. Drill holes in each length and use a fine chain to thread the bamboo tubes. Take a circle of wood and drill holes around the edge, plus one hole in the middle. Attach the tubes and thread a thick cord through the hole in the center. Tie a knot to stop the cord from slipping and make a loop on the other end to hang the wind chimes. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and enjoy the relaxing sound coming from your own unique chimes.
