Make Every Morning Tons & Strums of Fun
Learn how to craft a DIY guitar, plus discover tasty ways to tune up classic recipes with Dolly Parton’s Buttermilk Pancakes Mix and Original Syrup.
Create Your Very Own Cardboard Guitar
Growing up, Dolly fashioned her own homemade guitar from an old mandolin and rusty piano strings. But all you and your family will need for this sweet and simple guitar is:
- A box of Dolly Parton's Buttermilk Pancake Mix*
- One paper towel tube
- Rubber bands
- Duct tape
- Scissors
*Be sure to empty your box before you start building. We've found a guitar full of mix just doesn't sound the same.
