How To Make a Homemade Banjo

29 June 2007 4 Comments

This activity in ‘Have Fun with Your Kids’ by Marilee LeBon reminded me of the several times we made these, except we pretended they were guitars.

How To Make a Homemade Banjo

You will need;

A Paper-Towel Tube

A Tissue Box (one of the rectangular ones)

Three Rubber Bands

Paint or other materials for decoration

1. Staple the paper towel tube to the back of the tissue box lengthways.

2. Cut three notches on each end of the tube. Stretch the rubber bands from one end of the tube to the other and let them rest in the notches.

3. Paint/decorate your banjo.

    Sorry for the confusion, it’s not really a NOMINATION as much as a WIN. Semantics error. You’ve got it. You can put the button on your blogs if you want to and then give the award to five others. Kind of like the Thinking BLogger thing.

    If you have problems putting the button up, drop me a note and I’ll send you my code.
