Reigan My musical
instrument is called Strummin' with Jingle Bells. I worked
with my dad for this project. We used a large box, tempera
paint, yarn, bells, and foam stamps. First, we took a box
from my house. Then I painted it green, my base color. I let
it dry and then did a second coat. Once the second coat
dried, we took some different color paints and foam stamps
and scatted them around the box. Then, we cut a butterfly
shape in the middle. Once the middle was cut out, we put
some short and long rubber band across the top to make the
tone. After that, I put some jingle bells onto the middle of
the yarn. Then, we strung the yarn through the two holes and
tied them in the inside. After those bells were on, it
dawned on me that Strummin' with Jingle Bells was a good
name. I don't know how I thought of it. I just looked at the
box and thought of clever and catchy names, and that was one
of them.
