You can choose from aluminium, copper, brass or steel, or even bamboo if you want something that is more natural looking. If you’re new to making these items yourself, then we have some helpful hints below that will make the whole process much easier than you might think! Just follow our simple instructions and soon you will be making your own wind chimes - faster than you ever thought possible!
How to make an aluminium wind chime
First you need to find an aluminium wind chime that you like. Some good options are the Windeag and the Windeag Pro, both of which are reasonably priced and come with several different designs. When looking for a design, consider how you want your wind chime to look. If you want something that is more practical, then you might want to go for a more minimalist design like the Windeag Heritage, which is also very cheap. If you’d like something a little more decorative, you could choose something like the Windeag Echo. You can also choose whether you want your wind chime to be bronze, silver or gold. There are also many other types of aluminium wind chime, so be sure to do your research first.
How to make a steel wind chime
If you would like to make a steel wind chime, then you can do so by using a piece of round bar from the hardware store. You’ll also need some sandpaper and a hammer. First you need to sand down your bar until it is as smooth as possible, then you’ll want to use the hammer to pound one end until it is slightly thinner than the other. You want to do this so that it will hang down and make a gentle “S” shape when it’s winded. After you’ve sanded and smoothed the bar, you need to hammer the thinner end until it is flush with the rest of the bar. This will prevent your chime from wobbling as it’s winded.
How to make a bamboo wind chime
This would be a great option if you have a garden that is particularly lush and green, or if you live in a more tropical climate. First you will need to find a piece of bamboo that is about 1/4” thick. You can find bamboo that is already cut into sections or you can find bamboo that has been split into sections by a saw mill. Once you have the bamboo, you need to split it down the middle. You’ll want to split it lengthwise so that it is split into two pieces that are approximately 4’ long. If you’re in a tropical climate, you can also keep the sections inside an air-conditioned space so that they remain fresh. Once you have your bamboo, you will then want to start building your chime. You can use dowel rods, bamboo strips or just a piece of string to hang your chime.
How to make a copper wind chime
If you have an outdoor space that is more light-filled, then you might want to consider making a copper wind chime. First you will need to find some copper wire. You’ll probably want to find some that is relatively thin, but not so thin that it is likely to break soon. Once you have your copper wire, you will want to start twisting it together until you have about 12” of copper wire. You’ll want to use something flat and round, like a plate, to twist the copper wire around. Once you’ve twisted the copper wire, you’ll want to hold it tightly in place by wrapping it with duct tape. Now that your chime is complete, you’ll want to hang it somewhere where it can be easily winded by the wind. You can choose to hang it from a tree branch, or you can put a small hook on the side of a wall and hang it from there.
How to prevent your metal winds from tarnishing
All metals will eventually start to tarnish, but you can prevent this from happening with proper care. When you are not using your metal wind chimes, you will want to clean them with warm soapy water as this will prevent them from tarnishing. You should also avoid leaving them in any type of salty environment, as this will make them saltier and more likely to tarnish. Also, you should avoid leaving your wind chime outside for long periods of time in the sun, as this can cause them to tarnish even faster. Finally, you should store your wind chimes away from any magnets or other metal objects that could damage them.
How to paint your metal winds for added colour contrast and effect
If you would like to paint your wind chimes, you will first want to use a sturdy paintbrush to paint your wind chimes. If you would like your wind chimes to have a more muted colour palette, you can use a light colour like white, yellow or off-white. If you would rather use a brighter colour, you can use red, blue or orange. When you’re painting your wind chimes, you’ll want to make sure that you’re painting the whole surface. If you do this, then it will prevent your wind chimes from wearing down quickly. You will also want to make sure that you’re painting the inside of the wind chime, as this is the part that will be facing the wind.
