How To Make A Drum Out Of Chenille Stems

Ok. So here is a lesson for those of you who are art lovers. I have simple steps on how to make a drum out of chenille stems, which can conveniently be bought at any craft supply store or Walmart's.

You will need:
1 pack of bright colored fuzzy sticks
1 pack of dull colored fuzzy sticks
A whole lot of patience!

Ok. Start off by taking 2 bright red chenille stems and making a circle out of each. One will be the top of the drum, the other will be the bottom. Now take a light brown chenille stem and twist part of it around a red circle.

Now bring the stem up and over the top of the other circle, which should be on top of the other. Wrap the brown stick once and bring the other end down a little bit away from where you started. Keep doing this pattern until you have a full drum.

For the final bit, take dull white stems and make a criss-cross pattern over the drum until it is all filled in. Give yourself a hand, you have hopefully succeeded in making a drum. For the drum sticks, fold over a light brown chenille stem and twist it. Voila!
More lessons will be coming shortly. Please comment as I would like to know how well I explained things. Thanks,
