Make a Tambourine
We went on another short term mission trip this summer (2008) and this was
one of the crafts for vacation Bible School. Below you will find the
directions for making a tambourine.
For this project you will need the verse pattern, a small heavy
duty foam plate, 6 - 8 jingle bells, 2 chenille stems, a paper
punch, glue, and foam stickers(optional)
Glue the Bible verse on the tambourine. Punch evenly spaced
holes around the edge of the plate, being careful not to tear the
plate.
Cut each chenille stem in three or four pieces. Put each piece
through the top of a bell. Run the stem piece through a hole and
twist the ends together.
Put foam stickers on the other side of the plate if you wish.
Now worship the Lord with gladness!
