Tambourines are almost synonymous with Gypsy music. So, while in the land of Eastern Europe, where so much of the music falls into that of Gypsies, the craft kind of was a no-brainer.
Decorate a paper plate with color and patterns, however you wish.
Then, use a hole puncher to make clean holes around the outside edge of the plate.
Use pipe cleaners to loop through the holes and through a bell, and tie that off in the back of the tambourine.
Continue adding bells this way all around the outside of the plate.
When done, you have a brightly colored, LOUD tambourine that your kids will enjoy play with for hours.
But...make it anyway.
