Blow up a latex glove to test it.

Tape the straw onto the cut finger-tip with electrical tape.

Stretch the opening to make a squeaky sound

Hold the bottom closed and blow into the straw to test it.

Place end of tube against table and blow into straw to check for an airtight seal around the Tube.

Stretch the opening of the glove over the end of the yube

and secure with electrical tape.

To make the glove-o-phone work, turn the tube so that the closed end is pointing away from you and the glove is stretched taut

over the opening.
