Make
a
Croakertwanger
Made out of:
1 bottle cap
1 rubber band
1 old piece of string
1 paperclip
(but you can use any smeall hard thing hard with a hole in it.
Loop the rubber band through the paperclip or bead or whatever.
Then loop the 2 halves of the rubber band around the bottle cap.
Two ways to play:
1. Run your fingers down the string. Let your thumbnail catch on the knots,
and they will make the bead bounce on the bottle cap
2. Pluck rhythms on the rubber band.

More ways to make pinky boots are below this video, but here's how to use them. You can put one on your bow to make it easier to hold, and one on a pencil for a new kind of drawing.
How to make a pinky boot
out of pencil grips
If your pinky is small enough to fit comfortably into a pencil grip, you can also make that kind of boot. You will need to fasten it to the bow with a rubberband.
Wanna make a really dorky sound on a violin?
Easy schmeasy! All you have to do is hold the bow like a fly swatter!
(But it sounds better the right way.)
One more way to
make a pinky boot
If you can't find the right size tube or pencil grip, you can make a boot out of tape. 3M tape, marking tape, anything with a sticky side and a non sticky side.
