To Make Up Main Piece: Over sew the row ends, turn right side out.  Strings: For the strings I used some glittery thread.  Secure at the base of the seam just above the rim.  You will be weaving the thread under a bottom stitch in the top rim and under a top stitch in the base rim (click on the photo above to see a close up of my work - it's difficult to describe in words - easier to look at)  From your starting point - go to the top and two stitches around, now go to the bottom, leave 3 clear stitches and weave into the next, back to the top and leave three clear stitches.....you get the idea!  Drum Sticks: The drum sticks are made from a cotton bud stick.  Remove the cotton wool ends, cut the stick in half and use sewing thread to stitch them into position.  The cotton bud I used was hollow - so I started with a thread through the centre and then stitched over the top of the sticks a few times to stop them moving about too much.  Hey Presto a Little Drum you have made!!
