I'm guessing you mean the musical instrument:\n\n"The balalaika has its origins in the oriental domra, a two-stringed, oval-faced instrument brought to Russia most probably by the Mongols in the fourteenth century. For centuries it was an instrument of the peasant class - at various timed during its history, the playing of it was banned by both the Orthodox church and the State, for as often as not the irreverent street musicians, or 'skomorokhi', poked fun at both of these institutions in their music. " (see third link)\n\nThe first link is page has a downloadable e-book on making them, as well as plans you can purchase.\n\nAlso, the second link is for the The Balalaika and Domra Association of America; maybe you could contact them to find out more information.

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

Get wooden matchsticks and cut the heads off of them.  Then it is a simple means of making the design and building it.\n\nOr you can order this kit.

Take the braided hair and place the end of it in the middle of a hair pin. (About three or four inches from the bottom of the braid) (Make sure you use the thin, bendable hair pin, and not the hard bobby pin) Place your beads over the end part of the bobby pin, opposite the curved end. You may need to bend the curved end of the hair pin just a little more so that the beads can fit over it. (Make sure the braid isn't too thick or this won't work. If you have thicker braids, you'll have to use bigger beads.) Start out with just a few beads on the hair pin at a time until you get the hang of it and can pull more through...Place the end of the hair pin that has the beads on it in between your fingers. Take your other hand and hold the end of the beads (the beads closest to your finger holding the hair pin) and pull! Voila.\n\nProblem solved:)

I had one with my sister and cousin few weeks ago. But my sister help out, cuz she speak and see the dead. That made it more excited. But anyway, we got tea light candles and made a wide circle around us with them. \nThen we turn the lights out and held hands. Then one will be the spokeperson and call out to the spirits. One person will be the gateway, or the door for the spirits to come thru. But be careful, like the other person said. Some spirits ain't all nice either. \nIf you want a playing board with a playing piece. Then you can use that in your little seance. If you can't afford one, then use notebook paper pieces. Just do the letters and numbers. Along with the yes and no and goodbye as well. \nThen tear the piece apart from one another, and use on a flat surface. Like a table or anything hard. Then use a shot glass or a medium shot glass for the playing piece. But we done that twice and we love to have candles as well burning when we play it. \nBefore we got started, we always bless ourselfs. Have fun and be careful.

I used to make them as well..if you hold up three of your fingers.. this is the shape to put the sticks to start...Then insert the other two sticks horizontaly between the other ones. There is also a kite version..but its very hard to describe how to make it.

Lots of candles always look nice. You could make some candle centerpeices for each table, put a few flowers and braches around each one, keep it simple. And fairy lights are always good too. I saw one where they put the icicle lights underneath the white table cloth of the head table and it was really soft and pretty

You have to start with the Jolly Roger - scull and cross bones.  Sails could be screwers and light cardboard curved with centre holes top and bottom, nicely decorated, two triangular ones at the front.  The hull could be a Plastic coke bottle cut lengthways.  Glue something heavy to the bottom and then a layer of foam for the screwers to stick into.  Fashion  cardboard to fit as a deck, make holes for the screwers.  Find some netting (stocking material or the stuff they use in fruit punnets.  Brown wool for rigging and put it all together and then caste off me hearties.

Build an abacus.  \nArrange 10 beads on a piece of piano wire.  Every fifth bead should be a different collor.\n--oo--oo0-oooo0--\nMake a few more strings and mount them together in parallel or inline with each other.\n------ooooxoooox\nooo----oxoooox--\n--ooooxoo----ooo\n\nA really cool math based model would be a display of geometric shapes.\n\nYou could go to the matherworld site and print out some patterns for the platonic solids.  Then cut them out and fold them together.  The collection can be displayed in a couple of ways.  The easiest would be to mount them on straws poking out from a block of styrofoam.  The most dramatic would be to arrange them to hang in a mobile.  If you want instructions on making a mobile, send an email to samphelps at yahoo.\n\nPlatonic solids are the 3 dimensional shapes where all the sides are the same.  The most familiar is a cube where each side is a square.  Another is the tetrahedron where each side is a triangle.
