I applied generous amounts of glue on both ends of all the skewers.
When the glue was dry I carefully cut the skewers with wire cutters.
Here is the finished tube with all the skewers cut. My tube was 30" long and 2 3/4" in diameter.
Next I covered one end of the tube with the bottom of a margarine tub and used masking tape to secure it. A piece of cardboard or heavy plastic will work to cover the end also.
To achieve the sound of rain falling I use about a 3/4 cup of aquarium gravel or rice. I prefer the gravel as the sound is louder. The amount will vary according to the width and length of the tube. I covered the other end of the tube as I did the first end.
