From Free People blogger Brigette, this craft will also be calming as you piece together the [natural looking musical instrument](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowie). Using bamboo, sticks, twine and other personal embellishments like feathers, you can make your very own DIY wind chimes and make your home a little more zen. The majority of the materials you need will likely already be in your possession, while bamboo can be found at a craft store or online. You will also need some tools (a hot glue gun, handsaw and drill with small bit) that you might have to borrow from a neighbor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Crafts:** Opportunity to disrupt the crafting industry by providing more DIY craft ideas and materials to make at home. - **Eco-friendly Home Decor:** Opportunity to disrupt the home decor industry by providing more eco-friendly and sustainable options such as bamboo wind chimes. - **Mental Health Wellness:** Opportunity to disrupt the mental health industry by promoting the therapeutic benefits of DIY crafts as a form of self-care. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Crafting:** Promoting DIY crafting materials and projects to make at home. - **Home Decor:** Creating eco-friendly and sustainable home decor products. - **Mental Health:** Promoting the therapeutic benefits of crafts and DIY as a form of self-care. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chime Garden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chime-gardens.md) - [DIY Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-own-music.md) - [Playful DIY Incense Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incense-holder-kit.md) - [Charming Avian Door Chimes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timbre-tori-door-chime.md) - [Nature-Inspired Calming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whistle-speaker.md) - [DIY Plant Decor Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-it-yourself-plant-stand.md) - [Bird-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdinspired-speaker.md) - [Calming Desktop Novelty Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-peaceful-lotus.md) - [Feng Shui-Inspired Home Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capturing-qi.md)
