      I made two different rattles. I made a second one because I didn't like the way the first one sounded due to the bigger balls of clay inside. I tried to make a different one with smaller balls, but it turned out that the bigger ones actually did make a better sound. I created the first rattle by taking 4 small hemispheres, approximately 1.5 inch in diameter, putting in rolled smaller balls wrapped in paper towels and connecting them each so I would have two balls, Then i took a full cylander and connected the two balls.      
     The second rattle is made with two hemispheres, about 2.5 inches in diameter, and small balls wrapped in paper towels, and put together. I used it to make a clown face, and made handls with two coils like that of toddlers sippy cup.
