Finishing Your African Theme Rainstick Project

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Denise Robinson and I am a set designer for teleivsion and film and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm just going to smooth and roll, smooth and roll and since this was a longer cylinder I am going to make sure that the material is pulled tight so it has a nice seal to it. Make sure that it is smoothed out and you just want to continue to press until it feels like the fabric is on the cylinder. The best type of fabric to use is probably cotton; a real lightweight cotton. So you make sure that the glue sticks to it and to the cylinder. Once you get to the edge, you might want to put another strip of glue to make sure that the end is sealed. Now let's see what we have right here. Now I am going to take one of my ends and pop it out and I am going to tilt the rice and make sure that it is at the bottom of the cylinder. I want to take that out and pop that out and take my tassel and take the holder of it, put it down in the cylinder and recap it very tight so the tassel will stay on the end. I'm going to do that to the other side, put the other tassel in, make sure the rice is at the bottom so it don't spill over the floor, recap it. There we have a rainstick. "
