Harp- 4" PVC Pipe and Fishing Line
We are doing a David set right now and making harps. We cut one inch sections of PVC pipe (about 4" diameter) Then cut these circles of pipe in half to make a "C" shape. A member at our church then used his drill press prior to the beginning of the rotation to drill 10 holes on each end of the "C". The kids string fishing line through the holes from side to side. Then before tying off the last knot, an adult or older child squeezes the "C" and the string is pulled taut. These harps end up making a terrific sound, if fishing line is taut enough. Kids then decorated with permanent markers, feathers and leather straps. This has ended up being a "keeper" craft for the kids.
