How to Make your very own Rainstick!

Step 2 Fabric Cardboard Tube

This is the rainstick, more or less. The longer your tube, the more sound you will generate. You can usually get a 4ft to 5ft tube at a thrift store for around .25 cents (thats where I got mine). You also want a thick walled one as well, to hold the screws in better and to put up with more abuse.

You can use just about anything, from plastic tubes, to PVC pipes, to even metal. I am using the cardboard because it is very easy to fix mistakes and to work with.
