Now lets make two lids. Card board lids to cover both ends of the rain stick. The way
we do this is we take a strip of card board, thick parer. I am using actually a carton
from a box and I take the rain stick stand it on it straight up and I trace a circle
around the end. The same diameter as the end of the rain stick. So now I have two circles
drawn on my carton and I am go ahead and just cut around until I have the two circle shapes
cut out.
You don't have to worry about making the circle bigger than the mouth of the rain stick it
could be the same exact diameter because were going to be closing it up with some masking
tape.
So now we have two circles cut out that are going to be the lids for the top and the bottom
of the rain stick and now were going to go ahead and place them on top and were going
to seal them with some masking tape. Just so they stay in place and also to make sure
that there?s no spaces around were the rice can flow and fall out of the rain stick. So
we want to seal it up really well. So it doesn't really matter the exact shape of the circle
it just should basically fit right over the top. It doesn't have to fit over it because
the masking tape will help create a better seal. So now I have shown you how to cut two
lids for our rain stick out of card board or out of a carton.
