Make a Spin Drum for New Years

Is everyone ready to welcome in a new year? We are going to a party at my brother-in-law’s house and I figured we’d bring all the noise we could, so my boys and I made these cute little spin drums:

Inspired by Disney Family Fun, these little drums are easy to make, and you can make them from whatever you have lying around…we used a juice canister, the accompanying lid, cardboard, hot glue, yarn, beads, paint and sticks from outside for our drums. Look around to see what you already have on hand!

Cut the canister or container you are using to the width desired. I was able to make two drums from one juice canister.

Have your kids decorate their drums with paint, markers, glitter, etc.

Punch two holes in the sides of the drum and cut a hole to put the stick through the bottom. Use hot glue to secure the stick. String some yarn through the holes, making sure both ends are long enough to tie around a bead and still reach around to the drum as seen below.

Hot glue the lid of the canister or some cardboard to the front and back of the drum. Tie beads on to the yarn and let the noisy festivities begin!
