Noisemaker Craft

Party Crafts


   
This noisemaker craft is a children's project they can put together themselves, and use for New Year's Eve!  They are made from plastic glass tumblers, and be filled with anything to make noise.  The outside can then be decorated with paint, stickers, stencils, etc.  Happy New Year!

Things Needed:

  • 2 plastic disposable tumblers
  • colored electrical or craft tape
  • things to fill shaker (I used pony beads and wood beads.  Other suggestions: beans, rice, popcorn kernels, jingle bells, small stones)
  • paint and paintbrush, or other decorations for outside of the shaker


1.  Begin the craft by filling up one of the plastic glasses with things that make noise.  I used pony beads and wood beads, but other suggestions are beans, rice, popcorn kernels, jingle bells, or small stones.  Place the other tumbler on top of the first one to enclose the shaker.

2.  Next, secure the glasses together by wrapping the edges together with the colored electrical or craft tape.  Press down well.

3.  Now it is time to decorate the outside of the party shaker.  Use paints and a paintbrush to add designs like I did, or try stickers!  Enjoy the midnight countdown!
