In China, the New Year is always brought in with lots noise, from fireworks and other racket. That's why we make these cute little drums with the mini-monsters. Then we can also welcome the Chinese New Year here, with a lot of noise;)

There is always someone present with little patience :)) Puk says he can drum like this.

We decorate the drums with Chinese characters or figures.

Drill the hole in the bottom bigger using scissors, glue in the stick.

 Tie the beads on the ribbon, string them through the holes in the drum.

Glue the lid firmly on the box and your little drum is ready!
