At the beginning - sorry for my english. Honestly, I never use that language so I can make some funny mistakes or be hard to understand. Also - today I'm pretty lazy and having no willingness for checking the dictionary :) I made this drum kit as a gift for my friend, who always wanted to play drums, but had too small flat to keep that instrument. She had birthday, so I made the tiniest one I could to give her a chance for being a drummer - the kit issmall enough to place it on your hand.

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 04 16 214226 100 3175

    Things I'm gonna use. Everthing is founded in my house, I didn't have to buy anything.

  2. Small 2014 04 16 214448 100 3178

    Draw a circle with calipers on yellow paper (diameter +- 3cm)...

  3. Small 2014 04 16 215106 100 3180

    ...cut and glue it - do it twice, these will be cymbals.

  4. Small 2014 04 16 215152 100 3181

    Then cover the circles with 2 or more coats of nail polish - I used a silver one at first, and then the gold. Make a small hole in the middle of cymbal (for wire).

  5. Small 2014 04 16 215836 p

    Then draw and cut a white cylinder of paper. This is a model of my sketch, which I used during that step.

  6. Small 2014 04 16 220115 100 3184

    It will be bass drum. Glue it...

  7. Small 2014 04 16 220147 100 3186

    ...and paint with the red nail polish. Do it twice to make the colour intense. Let it dry.

  8. Small 2014 04 16 220348 100 3159

    Then add the wires and drum sticks made of toothpicks. I also sewed the bass drum to make it more durable and drew a logo. Enjoy!
