The melodic sound of a wind chime has a relaxing and calming effect. From childhood legs, these quiet and gentle sounds are more than familiar. A natural sound game from different elements is already inspired by the youngest of us. So what could be more obvious than hanging such a sound game in the baby room.

Rely on versatility and creativity

Your little sunshine will look at this special mobile with a lot of attention and like to listen to the sounds. A gentle breeze is enough to make it sound. Of course, the wind chips have to be attached so that they are occasionally moved by a slight draft - for example near a window.

Creative handicraft set

Make a wind chime yourself

First let your thoughts wander and think about what a sound game should have for a baby. First and foremost, it shouldn't be too big and, if possible, generate gentle sounds. Therefore, a sound game for a baby with other materials is to be made than wind chimes that adults would hang on the terrace. There you often meet metal and sheet metal as a material. However, this would be perceived as too loud by children.

When tinkering, rely on natural elements and a selection of beautiful Handicraftsthat give the whole a loving note.

For our sound game for children you need the following materials:

The first step: basic structure

Fread cord 1m pieceFirst, put on all the necessary materials. So you keep an overview and work is easier to do. Then you need the wooden ring to start handicrafts. Drill a small hole completely in three places. Pay attention to the distance between the holes.

You are now welcome to wrap this ring with a thread cord. However, keep the boreholes free.

The second step: creativity

First put the ring aside and now devote yourself to the individual strands. First start with a strand. You put the elements from top to bottom. However, the bamboo tubes are always to be set as the last element.

Wooden beads Lens beads

For example, start with different pearls. Leave a good 10cm to be able to attach the cords to the ring. The pearls are simply fixed with the help of a knot. Go on until you have threaded the desired amount of pearls. You can now put one of the bells underneath. At the end of the strand, select one of the three available bamboo sticks. If these do not yet have a hole through which you can thread the cord, then you have to do this with the wooden drill.

 Bell

In addition to the motif beads and bells, you can also use wooden rings. The more different the individual materials are, the more versatile the wind chime will be. In any case, vary the order. But as I said, remember: bamboo tubes belong to the end of the cords. If possible, try to put the elements in such a way despite a change so that each cord has about the same weight.

The third step: tie together

Now attach the three individual cords to one of the previously drilled holes in the wooden ring. Fix them with a knot. You can also use crafting home.

The fourth step: hanging the sound game

To hang up your creation, you can use thread cords again. Knot them in three places on the wooden ring. Now check the balance of the individual elements.

If the wind chime tends too much to one side, you may have to add the materials again or modify a little.

Before that, however, it is still important to find the right place where the wind chime for children is attached. To do this, it is best to hang the sound game for your baby near the windows so that it is carefully stroked by gentle hot and sound the wonderful sounds.

Make a wind chime yourself out of natural materials

The combination of natural materials and beautiful pearls, bell or other handicraft materials is very popular. Take your baby on a relaxing walk through the park and collect a few sticks, branches and a few pine cones together. If you have a few more mussels from the last vacation at home or have the opportunity to collect them, then of course these are also great natural materials for the wind chime of the children. Now combine the natural materials with the handicraft materials to a real unique piece.
