This project isn’t so easy, but your kids will like these music instruments, so you should make them! You will need scrap wood or wood kit, 1/4″ wide x 1/8″ thick, flat wooden dowel, 1/2″ diameter wooden dowel, 3/8″ diameter wooden dowel, mini embroidery hoops, rubber bands, large jingle bells, pipe cleaners, acrylic paints, foam brushes, paintbrushes, wood glue, minwax polycrylic finish, double-sided tape, pencil, hacksaw, power drill with 1/16″ drillbit, rough grit (80) sandpaper/block, fine/medium sandpaper/block and cloth.

Using the rough grit sandpaper, sand any rough areas on the block down then finish with the fine sandpaper. The rest of the tutorial is here.
