3) Sand paper.

How to make:
1) Make holes at 2 " intervals on the bamboo piece, starting about 3" from the top.
2) Use sand paper to smoothen the bamboo surface, so that your lips are not hurt by the rough edges.
3) Blow into the flute, placing your fingers over holes to get the sound you want.

Things needed:
1) A long bamboo piece.
2) A saw.
3) A hot glue gun.
4) Craft sticks.

How to make:
1) Cut the bamboo piece into 4 smaller pieces, 2 of about 3 inches in length and two of 5" length.
2) Using glue, stick the pieces together in such a way that the 5" strips are on the top and bottom and the 3" strips are on either side.
3) Paste wide craft sticks (cut to size) on the back of the bamboo using glue.
4) When the glue dries, tape a picture to the craft sticks in such a way that it can be seen through the bamboo frame when the frame is flipped.
