How to: Make your own Recycled Paper Didgeridoo

It's very easy!

1 - Before you start you'll need the following material:

•  8 kitchen rolls or 16 toilet paper rolls (or a mix, keeping in mind each kitchen roll is about 2 of toilet rolls)
• 3 Old newspapers
• Painting tape (get a good one, it'll save you some hassle later on)
• White glue
• Scissors
• Painting brush

2 - Now that you have all the material for making the didgeridoo you can chop the newspapers into stripes, the smaller the more perfectionist the job will be, but it'll take more time as well. Size example:

3 - For the mouthpiece, make a single cut in one end of a tube about 10cm then slide one above the other so the mouthpiece circumference will be aproximately the size of your mouth. Tape that end, and cut out the resulting triangle. That piece will be reused at the bell end to augment its circumference, so you can have a better sound amplification and vocal reproduction. After that tape the rolls together, this is a critical step, and taping the rolls well together will save you a headache later on.

4 - Dilute the white glue with water just enough to make the process easyer, and you can start the paper glueing task, tape stripe by stripe, from top to bottom until you have the whole didgeridoo covered with one layer of paper. To tape first brush some glue one the spot you want the stripe, lay the stripe and finish off by straightening it with the paintbrush.

5 - Let the first layer dry and afterwards repeat the process atleast twice, leaving the didge with 3 layers of paper. The more layers it has the deeper the sound will be, less layers results on a vibrating sound. Let it dry and you've got a playable didgeridoo.

6 - If you're not satisfied yet, you can add some art a protective coating such as varnish and a beeswax mouthpiece. The artistic process is where you can let your creativity fly (duh) and use whichever process suits you most, i will now describe the process i went thru.
As a primer i followed the sugestion of Didgetc and aplied a coating of carbon dust mixed with white glue (some parts were more rocky than dusty).

7 - Followed by a white paint primer.
8 - I got inspired by australian aborigene artwork and used a pattern and colors similar to one's i've seen.

9 - For the center I sketched an animal as close to tradition i could, except it wasn't an animal traditionally used, since there are no bears in Australia.

10 - Used beeswax for the mouthpiece:

11 - This is what i ended up with:

12 - Forgot to mention i added a couple of layers of varnish inside and outside.
That's it, so easy even i could do it. Here's how the recicled paper didgeridoo sounds:

Thanks to Didgetc for his tutorial that i followed and for the extra tips and advice he sent me by messaging.
