You'll need:
- A paper towel tube
- Dry beans
- Small circles of cloth or sturdy
plastic wrap for the ends
- Rubber bands
- A thumbtack (for rainstick)
- Toothpicks (for rainstick)
For a paper towel shaker, wrap one end of
the tube with cloth or plastic wrap and seal with a rubber band. Then
pour dry beans in the other end and seal other end with cloth or plastic
wrap. For rainstick, seal one end, then use your thumbtack to poke holes
at about 2 cm intervals around the seam of the tube. Pour beans inside
the tube, then insert toothpicks into the holes (blunt ends on the
outside so you don’t stick yourself!). Seal the other end. |
