These particular Rainsticks are made from cactus plants that have died a natural death in the deserts of Chile. The insides are carved out and pebbles or seeds are inserted to make the rain stick sound. Decorative woven fabric is wrapped around one end using one of the traditional colors The color of the fabric will vary with each Rainstick. In modern time, Rain Sticks are used for Cultural and Historical decoration as well as musical instruments due to the running sound of the pebbles within the stick.
