Sound Cylinders DIY



(L) The "real" stuff. (R) The DIY version.

Materials needed:
12 film canisters, a box to hold the canisters, 6 pairs of different stickers, hot glue/super glue

I used the film canisters, which you can get them free from photo developing shop.

Step by step:
(1) Fill the canisters with different materials (beans, sesame, buttons, ....etc) to produce 6 pairs of distinctive sounds. (make sure you used same quantity of materials in both)

(2) Seal the cover with hot glue or super glue.

(3) Stick the pairs of stickers on the canisters with same materials.
