Instructions:
- There are so many wonderful way to decorate your party drums.
- You may use construction paper to fully cover your drum, and then paint wonderful and bright geometric designs on it.
- Another great way to decorate your drum is to paint the coffee can directly with paints in various colors. Using glitter and glitter paints is also a great way to decorate the drums.
- One of my favorite ways to decorate the drums is to turn them into collages, and cover them with colorful bits of cloth, beads, and small felt cut-outs. It really make for a wonderful, art-like effect.
- Finally using the wooden dowels as drumsticks, you can begin enjoying the party, and drumming to the music!
