Nice work thanks

[@acesabaforlife]

Did you find it dried out?

[@donaldporta]

you can let these cords set all winter and clean them up in the spring, they will be dry. I just kept mine inside a few months and they dried fine.

[@3rdeyebutterfly]

What else could I use for the top part of the rattle?

[@donaldporta]

feathers would be nice

[@indigenousresurrection7489]

I come here to look at how others do their own to remember how my people did theirs, and to be inspired. I get dreams of have a gourd rattle. I am conflicted, whether to buy a ready-made dried gourd rattle and paint the symbols of my people, or if I grow my own gourd and go through the process of creating my own rattle. Or if I were to simply buy a dry gourd (because I can't grow one right now) and go through part of the process. thank you for sharing.

[@angelinasaenz5840]

What kind of seeds would I use to grow the gourds

[@mato1875]

You can buy the chords. If you can't find them growing

What tribe are you buddy

[@SmiteKite]

0:15 what's it called?

[@donaldporta]

That is a gourd, which is related to the pumpkins and squash. it has minimal pulp and a hard outer shell.Just make sure the pulp is completely dried out when making the rattle.

If this is a "Sacred Peyote Rattle" why are you exposing online?

[@a.e.rromero5403]

Exposing? You mean sharing?
