Step 3Fill those holes!
Okay, so when I drilled the holes I thought that maybe it would be perfect for me to just screw the screws in and it would be a tight fit. I was mistake. The drill bit I used was too large, and often the screws would just fall out of place. I ended up using copious amounts of hot glue to seal the screws in place.
This is a good time to test your rain stick. Put some of the materials you will use inside (again, I chose uncooked corn kernels and rice) and fill it up with whatever you think it the right amount. I started with about a cup or so of each. You should have one endcap on, so the collected "rain" should gather at one end.
If you hold your hand over the uncovered side and flip your rainstick, you can see how it sounds. If you think you need more filling, add more filling.
I personally thought that the "rain" was falling too fast, so I added a whole lot of screws into the middle to create a barrier of sorts and slow down the rainfall. Ultimately it worked, but it looked kind of bad. I would put more planning into your "rain" slowing tactics.
