The Bead Tambourine

BEAD TAMBOURINE

By: Farheen F.

The name of my instrument is Bead Tambourine. I got the idea from my mom. The things I used were beads, cardboard poster, rice, paper bag. I got my things in the pantry and the beads I got in my room and the bag I got from the store.

My mom helped to cut the cut the cardboard poster we did two circles and some cubes so the two circles could be apart. It was hard because it would keep falling off so I had to hold it for two hours. We put beads inside the cubes. Then we covered the sides with a paper bag. There were a lot of holes so all we did was cover the holes with tape. It held it for a few days.

My instrument is from the percussion family. The sound of my instrument can have a very high or low sound. My instrument can make three different type of sounds; they are high, beady, and banging.  My instrument can make a very loud sound. 

The person that helped me make my instrument was my mom.  She helped me by cutting the cardboard poster and she covered the side with the paper bag.  The biggest problem I had was when the beads kept falling off.   They kept falling out of my instrument.
