How to Use Foil to Make Rain Sticks

Video Transcript

Hi this is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village. If you're making a rain stick with small children and you don't want to poke things into the outside of it or mess with chicken wire, you can use aluminum foil to make a sound filter as well. You want to take one strip of aluminum foil, about as long as your project and roll it like a snake. The kids will love that. They always like making snakes. You want to roll it like a snake and then crunch it so that it's nice and tight. You're doing this because you're going to use two of them, and you're going to make kind of a chain with them so that the sound will filter through the two of them. There that's about the right length. OK, we're going to make another one. We're going to roll it like a snake. Of course, it doesn't have to be even, because after all, you are just going to crunch it up. Once we have it rolled we're going to take the two and we're going to twist the tops together and we're going to make sure that we have an opening and an opening, and an opening, and an opening, and an opening, so that we have a chain. This we're going to put inside of our rain stick and if you look at the end of it and you say to yourself, that looks like there's way too much room in there and my filling is going to fall too fast and not make enough sound, you simply make another chain out of aluminum foil and put both of them in there. Once you have as many in there as you feel that you need, you're going to cap the end and you're ready to decorate your rain stick that has an aluminum foil sound filter.
