To make bamboo wind chimes, you first have to obtain the required materials, such as bamboo, 1/4 inch thick plywood of about 2 square feet in length, strings, drill, saw and hot-melt glue gun and glue. A guide to the procedural assembling of the material can be found on the art and craft or hobbies and craft web sites. Wind chimes made yourself will always seem to sound better than those you buy because of the random sound they produce.
