Hello I'm Annie Brunson. We are making musical instruments out of everyday household items. Today you need some bottle caps, you would need some dowel, and a hammer, and of course some nails. You are going to take a medium length nail and you are going to put two bottle caps together. You are going to be hammering them on to the dowel. First of all I'm going to get the bottle cap started. So once you have hammer holes into your caps you take a slightly smaller nail and make sure that it goes through the hole quiet well but, it doesn't actually go all the way through. Now we are going to put the bottle caps onto the dowel. Make sure that the tops are together. Put a nail through and now we are going to hammer that to the dowel. Then you are going to repeat that with two other nails and now we have a nice little shaker.
