How to Make Tambourines with Paper Bowls & Jingle Bells

Hello I'm Annie Brunson on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to learn how to make musical instruments out of everyday household objects. The first thing we are going to make is a tambourine. What you will need is a paper bowl a fairly sturdy paper bowl would be good. Some ribbon, markers, a one hole paper punch, some bells jingle bells, and some washers. So the first thing you are going to do is actually cut some holes in the paper plate. Now leave a space for you would hand or hold the actual tambourine you don't want to cut holes there. So have a look to see how much it is for me it is about this amount. I'm going to cut five holes. You could cut more if you want to. The next thing you are going to do is string your noise makers. I'm going to take a washer and I'm going to thread a jingle bell and then another washer. It is a nice sound and you are going to tie it onto your tambourine. You don't tie it to tight you want it to be loose enough but not to loose. Loose enough so that the bell could actually hit against. That sounds good. Cut off the long ends and you do that with all the different holes. So we now have a tambourine.
