Juice Can Drums
Collect the cardboard juice cans...the ones whose lids come off
with the strip of white plastic. Keep the lids.
Cut the cans down till they are about 1 1/2" high. Make a very clean cut,
because you are then going to glue the lid back onto the shortened juice can.
Cover the can with ribbon (1 7/16" wide ribbon - the Christmas
colored ones are the best) and glue. If desired, you can paint the bottom
and the lid in a gold colour.
Take gold wire (or rick rack, or small cording) and glue onto the
side of the can, on top of the ribbon, in a zig zag pattern making sure
your zigs and zags are evenly spaced. Glue two small wood beads onto
the ends of two round tooth picks and glue these drumsticks onto the top
of the drum.
Attach thread for hanging.
