| About 15 years ago my daughter was given a rain stick made from a cactus.
During a move the rain stick became damaged and rather than throw it out I decided to fix it. As I was working on it, I thought, "Hey, I could make one of these out of a cardboard tube and papier mache". This article will share the steps for making one! The odd thing is that every time I make one of these.....it rains! So mine is called a "Rainmaker". |
 |
 | Well let’s get started.
SUPPLIES Cardboard tube Glue Wallpaper Paste 2 colours of 20 to 40 lb weight paper (kraft, butchers, utility, copier) Aquarium Gravel or rice Wooden Skewers Metal Skewer or gimlet Masking tape Gesso Acrylic paints |
| The first step is to mark your tube.
I marked mine with a black marker, tracing the oblique line on the cylinder. Next, with a red marker, draw a line running along side the first line as shown in the photo. |  |
 | The next step is to make holes in the
tube. I used a metal skewer or gimlet with a handle on it. |
