The tambourine is 4 ½”
wide. I started with a lid from a
package of Laughing Cow cheese wedges.
I glued a double strip of
cardstock around the edge. To accommodate
the symbols (which are made from brass coins) I cut rectangular openings in the
cardstock. To make the symbols I punched
holes in the brass coins and slid them on needles. I used needles because they are stiff. I glued the needles between the layers of
cardstock.
I wrapped the sides with seam
binding tape and glued coin and beaded fringe to the sides.
If you shake the tambourine
it jingles!

Beautiful Laura! Now I know what to do with all those Laughing Cow containers I've been saving - LOL! I knew something would come along I could use them for.

I love everything you make, but this has got to be my favorite so far. I think I've said that about each one of your projects. But this one really is a favorite. Maybe it's the Laughing Cow part. That increased its cool factor by at least 60%. My stash of empty LC containers has finally found a destiny.
OMG! I altered these boxes before ... but you have gone way over the top with creative loveliness.. I love this... your style is so beautiful...
DeaR Laura,

Now thats creative!!!
Beautiful!!!!
I love all of your gypsy work! You are magical!
This is exactly the inspiration I needed! I was trying to figure out what to use to make a tambourine for a costume that would be more artsy. I have a few card stock prototypes but they just aren't sturdy enough, epic idea with the laughing cow lid!
