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.  Party crafts are always a hit!

Things Needed for this party shaker:

  • 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 this New Year's 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.
