Watch me as I try to make a moving and rattling tree spirit from Princess Mononoke! Do you prefer the bought version or the DIY?

If you're a Studio Ghibli fan, you probably know the tree spirits called "kodama" from Princess Mononoke. But even if you're not a Ghibli fan, you will learn how to make a spinning bobblehead figurine. And as always I try to keep the materials as simple as possible.
There are a lot of kodama figurines out there - homemade or bought - but it's hard to find a kodama that spins its head and rattles. So let's make one ourselves!
