Since before even becoming a teacher, I always eyeballed that cool, seemingly easy, Pinterest project that is the Whisper Phone. Regrettably, Year One did not exactly leave the time or the energy to make them! A couple of days ago I saw them pop up on my Pinterest feed, and got a wave of motivation. I drove to the closest Home Depot, picked up a few materials and set to work.
Materials:
- 10' of 3/4" thickness PVC pipe (I just bought the longest pipe available)
- 2 bags of 3/4" thick PVC elbows
- PVC cutters (the priciest at $12 but I figured they were an investment)
- Your favorite duct tape :)
I made these for little kinder hands, so I (okay, my strong fireman boyfriend) cut the pipe into 3" pieces. The elbows add some length so don't be afraid of how small they look! I then put ONE elbow on each pipe. I wrapped the middle of the pipe with the tape before adding the second elbow. This is only because my tape was wider than the phone grip...if that makes sense. My 10 foot pipe made about 30 phones. I hope you find this simple tutorial helpful, go easy on me...its my first! :)
