A few weeks ago I was viewing a blog I check out often- Homemade By Jill. She had a link over to Skip To My Lou for homemade rhythm instruments! I made the drumsticks only. If you decide to make these for your little ones a few tips- don't use Crayola washable paint. It will get soaked up on the wood and will not show up. I bought 6 packs of paint in different color schemes at JoAnn Fabrics for $1 each set. I only needed two coats of paint. Here is another tip, check out the dowels at the hardware store. I had to go back because when they were cut the pieces were unbelievably uneven and crooked. Make sure they are pretty close to even. Another shortcut I did was purchasing spray on polyeurethane. I did not feel like messing with a can and a brush. I found this at my local hardware store.
Good luck making these drumsticks. Your children will love them!
So how did I do on my first post???

I think I can comment now! Looks good! I had to manually type in my name and website, it didn't recognize me from blogger already.
