It kept them from getting stuck together before they dried. I think the size of the container in relation to the size of the clay beads would be a factor in the sound it makes as well. I'd like to make more of these, they're fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720022400918053257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448624606158231425.post-90908526442537072222012-03-07T23:21:45.280-05:002012-03-07T23:21:45.280-05:00I love your rattle Lori! I've tried making rat...I love your rattle Lori! I've tried making rattles with my grade 4 students, but it always seems hit and miss whether they have a nice sound or not.

At any rate, I love the glaze details and the sound of your awesome owl! :DBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265922295138000557noreply@blogger.com
