Supplies

Directions

Gather all your supplies.
Cut your piece of cardboard into pieces that are around 5 inches by 1.5 inches. Each piece will make one castanet.
Fold this piece in half and decorate them however you like! You can paint them, draw designs on them, or even cover them in glitter!
Get two bottle tops for each castanet, and put glue onto the jagged sides of each one.
Glue them onto the inside of the ends of your piece of cardboard (see picture for reference), making sure they line up with each other and touch when you squeeze the cardboard.
Once the glue is dry squeeze together the ends to make the bottle tops touch and create your own beat!
