DIY Cat bell Tambourine- Music for everyone

We alredy did some music here, with the rice shaker. Today we are going to add another instrument to our orchestra, the cat bell tambourine.

This project is easy and it can be very colorful.

What we need:
  • Paper punch,
  • 2 disposable plastic plates, you can use paper ones, if you prefer,
  • Cat bells,
  • Glue, the type depends on you use paper or plastic plates,
  • Ribbon, string works well
  • Large neddle, large enough to the string/ribbon you want to use,
  • Paints and brushes,
  • Varnish.
How to:
  1. Paint the plates, as you wish, eat side down;
  2. Let them dry, 3 hours is more then enough;
  3. Varnish;
  4. Let it dry again;
  5. Glue the plates together, with painted side out;
  6. With the paper punch, punch several holes all around the plate circumference;
  7. Get the ribbon and the cat bells and tie them thru the holes.
You are ready!

Et voilá!
Now you just need to do some music!

Enjoy!
