Top Tip
Try creating different trumpets with different sized cones and listening to how the sound changes each time.
How to Make
- Using a cardboard tube core, cover with coloured card and secure in place with glue dots.
- To create the cone, cut out a rectangle from coloured card. Form a cone shape, then rest it inside the end of the cardboard tube and let it relax a little, as it will naturally form into the right-sized cone. Secure the two sides of the cone with glue dots.
- Cut vertical slits into the smaller end of the cone, enough so you can bend them slightly outwards. Apply a glue dot to the outside of each little strip, then carefully position the smaller end of the cone inside the cardboard tube. Then secure in place by pressing down the little strips to the inside of the cardboard tube.
- Once the cone is securely in place, decorate the trumpet with gems. You could also add a ribbon neck strap or personalise with self-adhesive foam letters.
