2. Prepare balloons for making the drums, as you may break the balloons in the process of making the drums, it's a good idea to buy multiple balloons to have on standby, and choose large, sturdy balloons to make sure that they fit the selected drum base.

3. Next, subtract the open end of the selected balloon, and make sure that the new opening is smaller than the diameter of the drum base

4. After cutting the balloon, use one hand to secure the balloon to one end of the drum base while the other hand stretches the balloon to the other side of the drum base, so that the balloon will cover the opening of the pot, vase, or bucket that serves as the drum base. Be careful to secure the balloon so that it doesn't bounce back when you stretch it.

5. Once the balloon is taut, use heavy-duty tape or fabric-based tape to secure the balloon around the perimeter of the drum base.
