AdventurerKatziMake an Easter egg rattle.
You fill up a few grains of rice in an unblown balloon. Then you blow up the balloon, knot it and press the knot into the balloon with one finger. Then you glue the knot with adhesive strips, so that the balloon gets an egg shape. A case of cardboard mache stabilizes the rattle egg. Finally, you wrap the egg with a colored wool (possibly with colour gradient). Your rattle egg is ready. The rattle egg is ideal for accompanying Easter songs, as a small Easter gift or just for making music.
Get a craft file ready.
And put on a paint coat or an old shirt.
First you fill a balloon with a few lentils or rice grains.
To fill in you can use a small funnel. To do this, plug the funnel into the balloon opening.
Tip: Alternatively, you can roll a paper to a funnel.
Fill only about 1 teaspoon full of lenses in the balloon. Since the balloon is not inflated, does not fit much!
Despite the filling, about 1cm should remain free.
Then blow up the balloon a little bit. It should be maximum as big as a palm.
Then knot the balloon.
Now press the outward knot into the balloon.
This is easy because the balloon is very elastic.
Sticks an adhesive tape over it, so that the knot remains on the balloon. No bump should be possible.
Now you're ripping newspaper in snippets, then you're gonna stick the balloon with paste and newspaper.
Brush in each snippet with paste and glue the snippet overlapping on the balloon.
Apply several layers of newspaper snippets on the balloon. Pass the paste possibly with your hands over the balloon. So you smooth the snippets all around.
For the information: Kleister can be washed off very easily from the hands again!
Now put the cardboard mâché egg to dry.
For this purpose, it places on a smooth base or a plate or a screw glass lid or similar or directly on the radiator!
After about a day, the papier mâché egg is dried.
Now you wrap a wool with a colour gradient around the egg. You put a strip of glue on the cardboard mâché egg all around and wrap the egg with wool.
Wraps crisscross until the whole newspaper layer is covered with wool. Don't be too loose to wrap, because otherwise the wool slips off the paper mâché egg.
Finally, you glue the end thread so that the wool does not loose.
Your rattle is ready.
The rattle egg is a beautiful instrument that feels very comfortable in the hand.
Try it yourself!
