"Flowerpot Bells" by Ashley The flowerpot bells were made out of 3 different flowerpots, black cord, a broomstick, 3 small pieces of dowel, and paint. I painted the flowerpots with different colored acrylic paints. My Mom helped attach the cord to the broomstick and flowerpots. My Mom and I made the striker with a bead and a paintbrush stick. It took 2 1/2 hours total to make. The sound is produced when you tap it with the striker. The pitch is determined by the size and thickness. The bigger the pot is, the lower the note is. The smaller the pot is, the higher the note is.
