How to make Damru with a Paper Cup?

Making a Damru with a paper cup can be fun and creative.

This traditional Indian musical instrument is easy to make and produces a unique sound.

Follow these simple steps to create your own Damru using a paper cup.

Materials Needed:

- Paper cup

- Scissors

- Decorative materials (colors, brushes, threads, markers, etc.)

Instructions:

Step 1: The paper cups should be of the same size.

Step 2: In the second step, you need to paint the paper cup properly, paint both sides with the same color, and color the edges properly so that the original color of the paper cup is not visible.

You have to paint it with a proper brush.

Step 3: When both the cups are ready with the same color, apply the glue at the bottom of one cup, and join it properly with another one.

Step 4: For the Damru drumheads, take two small circular pieces of paper. These can be cut from colored paper or any decorative material of your choice. It is important that the diameter of the circles matches the width of Damru's ends.

Step 5: Attach the drum threads, apply glue or tape to one side of each circular piece and carefully attach them to the open ends of the Damru.

Make sure they are aligned properly, allowing enough space for the drumheads to vibrate when the Damru is played.

Step 6: Use thread as an alternative decorator to make it look Damru-like.

Tips:

- Experiment with different sizes of paper cups to vary the sound produced by your Damru.

- If you don't have a paper cup, you can use a small plastic cup or any other cylindrical container to create a similar effect.

Remember, making a damru from a paper cup is a simple and enjoyable craft project. Whether you're creating it for yourself or as a gift, this homemade musical instrument is sure to bring joy and entertainment.

Happy crafting!
