MIKERACUZ By:  Michael V. The name of my instrument is called "The Mikeracuz".  I got the idea from looking at all the supplies I had and chose maracas.  The materials I used were two water bottles, a pvc pipe, popcorn, spray paint, a sharpie. I found the materials in my toolbox.  I used a saw to cut the pipe. First I took two water bottles.  Second I took the pvc pipe and cut it into two pieces and put glue on the two pieces and suck corn in the two bottles.  Next I let the glue dry and spray painted it. I let it dry for three days.  I then put some designs on it with a Sharpie pen.  My instrument is in the percussion family. My instrument makes a shaky sound. You shake it to make a sound. It can make one sound. It is very obnoxious. It is very loud or it can be quiet. My dad helped me with my instrument. He helped me cut the pipe. The biggest problem was holding the bottle a spraying it at the same time.
