A cute whistle
I made this in art class at school.
-
Step 1
Blow up a ballon and coat it in clay 1/2 inch thick.
-
Step 2
make a tube and score/slip it onto your clay ball so that it'll stick. Then remove the circle of clay to the balloon that's in the middle of the tube- this will be your mouth peice (the mouse's nose/mouth)
-
Step 3
about 1/4-1/2 of an inch away from the top of the mouthpeice make a straight incision, should go perfectly straight up and down.
-
Step 4
use the incision as a front wall and hollow out a perfect square facing away from the mouthpeice.
-
Step 5
slant the wall farthest away from the mouthpeice, it should be a 45 degree slant, and very flat. Test it by blowing into it- if it doesnt make a sound adjust it until it does.
-
Step 6
The clay should be almost dry by now (because this project will take a couple days) so pop the balloon and take it out throught the opening (use an exacto knife)
-
Step 7
Add pitch holes (optional) anything more than three pitches will decrease the sound value of your whistle.
-
Step 8
Decorate your whistle, I made mine into a mouse.
-
Step 9
Put the whistle into the kiln for (I think it was) a day or two.
-
Step 10
Add three coats of paint evenly on the exterior of the whistle, make sure that you do NOT paint the little square that you cut out.
-
Step 11
Put the whistle into the kiln again and burn it.
-
Step 12
You're done!
