What you will need:
- 2 styrofoam or paper cups
- colored tape or hot glue gun

What to do:
- Fill one cup with rice and/or beans and/or unpopped popcorn kernels; you only need a handful inside the cup
- Turn the other cup over and place on top of filled cup, lining up rims
- Use colored heavy-duty tape to tape the cups together (can use hot-glue gun to glue cups together; I used black electrical tape!)
- Decorate the cups by painting as you wish and gluing on decorative accents (you may choose to paint the cups before taping them together)
- Allow to dry
- Shake and enjoy your maracas!
