You will need:

•  Wooden Spoon
•  Suede Cord
•  Tissue Paper
•  Beads
•  Glitter
•  Paper Plate
•  PVA Glue
•  Stapler
•  Chinese Image
•  Masking Tape

Instructions:

1. Thread a bead on to each end of the cord + knot to secure. Wrap the
cord around the spoon a few times, gluing in place.

2. Place a paper plate either side of the spoon with the handle sticking out
at the bottom, and the beaded cords also left out at both sides. Staple
plates together.

3. Decorate plates using tissue paper, glitter and a Chinese image if you
wish!

4. Chinese drum (rattle) is twisted in the hand so that the beads bounce of
it and make a noise.
