If your kids ask you to buy a real musical instrument but don’t know which one they want, you can make such a thing with your hands and you’ll save a lot of money. Lets try a guitar. You will need stencils, FolkArt home décor chalk paint, paint spouncers, 5 pieces of cardboard (approximately 20” x 40”), 4 – 7” x 1/8” big rubber bands, box cutter, hot glue gun, 3 paper clips, power drill and ruler. Draw a giant guitar shape on the cardboard and cut it out with your box cutter. Re-trace the shape and cut out 4 more pieces for a total of 5 layers. Make sure to include a sound hole in the middle of 4 pieces. The fifth piece should be solid for the back of the guitar. Cut out a 4” x 75” piece of cardboard for the bridge. The rest of the tutorial is here.
