Note: You might want to shove a craft stick under each side of the rubber bands to simulate a bridge and a nut. Stretch the rubber bands with craft sticks (youРІР‚в„ўll need a friend to help you with this part) and then tape the sticks to either end of the box.

Note: If your rubber bands are not long enough, cut them and then tie them to two different craft sticks.

Stretch big rubber bands around a shoe box that has a hole cut in the front for sound.

You can even make a more advanced version if you have the extra material. The box guitar is aР’В large and powerful homemade instrument.Р’В Because of its size, you can get some nice resonance out of it.

Stretch rubber bands around the open part of the box (or even around the lid itself).

The box allows the rubber bands toР’В have a deep resonance in their sound. It can be made a number of different ways, but the way we did it was as easy as looking aroundР’В the kitchen for parts.

After all the tape is in place, start flicking the pins with your thumbs!Р”Р„ box harp is a pretty cool little invention.You can use aР’В craft stick to help hold the pins in place.Р’В TapeР’В the craft stick over top of the pins and then tapeР’В that to the box.Straighten out several bobby pins and then tape them to the top of the box, leaving the ends of the pins hanging over the hole.6-8 Bobby pins or other springy material (like paper clips).This substitution does not resonate as well as the wooden box, so we recommend getting one of those if you can. But you can substitute these materials with something easierР’В РІР‚вЂњ a match box and some bobby pins.

The kalimba is an African instrument thatРІР‚в„ўs best made with pieces of spring steel and a wooden box.

Bonus step: If you want to get really technical, get a chromatic tuner and actually measure the amount of water you need for each glass, and tune it up!

Materials Needed: The glass xylophone has a beautiful ring to it. The other one is made of wrenches, which youРІР‚в„ўll see in #14. Xylophones are always fun to make, and this is one of two xylophones youРІР‚в„ўll see on our list. Lastly, youРІР‚в„ўll need to cover the entire rainmaker with duct tape.The more nails you can poke into the can, the better, as this is what makes the sound. Take about twelve million nails (or maybe a dozen) and poke them in one at a time all over the Pringles cans until all of the nails are sticking into the can.Take the secondР’В Pringles can, place it open mouth to open mouth with the other, and tape them together.Put a handful of filler material into the bottom of a Pringles can.2 Pringles cans (or other tube-like canisters).

It really does sound like rain! This particular rainmaker has two settings РІР‚вЂњ tin roof and tropical rain forest. This is one of the easiest homemade instruments to make and only requires a few materials.

Place a handfulР’В of the filler material into the canister, cap it, and then shake it!.

1 handful of filler material (seeds, rice, beans, or beads).
