Bottles
by Elisa
O. I made my instrument
out of four glass bottles, beads, glitter and
paint. I painted the bottles
different colors. I stuck beads on them with the
hot glue gun. I put lots of glitter on the bottles.
Then I hot-glued the bottles together.
I can play it by
blowing across the tops of the bottles, one at a
time. Each bottle has a different amount of water
in it. If you blow into them, each will make a
different pitch. The bottles with the least water
make the lowest pitch. The bottles with the most
water make the highest pitch. My instrument has a
good tone quality. by Emmet D. I used dry rice, plastic Coke
bottles, construction paper, hot glue and glitter.
I put dry rice in the plastic
Coke bottles. Then I hot-glued the construction paper to the
bottles. Then I decorated it with glitter. I made holes in
one bottle so two bottles could fit inside it. I connected
all the bottles with masking tape. When you turn it upside down or
right side up, the rice scrapes against the sides of the
bottles to make the sound.
