The cute toy drummer is hand-made and requires some special materials, which are generally hard to come by. Dried gourds are used. You can consider going to the vegetable market and making an appointment with the vegetable farmers in advance. For such a beautiful and novel toy drum, it is worth the trouble. Children will definitely like this handmade little toy!
Materials and tools required:
Dried gourd, leather, rubber bands, scissors, dust mask, pencil, super glue.
Cut the dried gourd as shown in the picture, and be sure to wear a dust mask to avoid inhaling dust. Wash and dry.
Take the leather, draw the shape of the drum head with a pencil, and cut the leather into a sunburst shape. The upper and lower pieces are made the same way. Be sure to leave a little extra seam.
Poke a few small holes in the leather to secure it to the gourd. Use super sticky glue to seal both ends
Use rubber bands to fix the two pieces of leather, and a small retro toy drum is born.
