Instruments

over the thanksgiving holiday, we were challenged with building an instrument out of household goods. I built a shaker. i know, how lame right? But it was actually pretty cool. I found a cylindrical (is that a word?) mail package and I filled it with shards of alluminum can. This gave it a unique sound that most shakers don't typically have. I covered the cylinder with a fuzzy pink fabric and my little sister found these cool looking sleeve things and i put those on there too. Even though it was pretty basic, it was pretty fun looking!
