Step 1: You Will Need...
a drinking straw
pliers
scissors
Step 2:
flatten the end of the straw with the pliers
Step 3: THE CUT!
cut the flattned end like in the picture
Step 4: More Cutting
cut some holes in the straw, i have painted them black so it becomes easier to see them
Step 5: Play It!
now to play it:
play it just like a normal flute, hold the pointed end in your mouth and one finger on each hole, relese the fingers from the holes to get diffrent tones

Ok, that's not a flute... But a reed instrument. Still cool thought. A flute is blowing over a hole providing a whistle sound.
