Scavenge jingly parts off an old tambourine?
Sneak up behind gypsy. Preferably very old,disabled gypsy who has no teeth left.Be leery of long,sharp nails,though. Whack her on the head and grab tambourine. Be careful of other gypsies lurking in area. They are very dangerous.

LOL.
If you have trouble finding an old gypsy in Massachusets, you can check out Grover products. They make things like jingles and head kits.
You can buy them on e-bay too, but a lot of what's sold as jingles are essentially just fender washers. Buyer beware

I'd go with george on this one, minus the gypsy stuff (I have no idea where you'd find one). A couple of trips through some antique shops with booths should find a cheap tambourine that can be taken apart and used.

edit:
The reason I know all of this stuff is when I worked at Woodcraft, I was the resident instrument expert...didn't matter what instrument it was. I did a lot of research to help a lot of different people out with their wacky projects.

The cost of parts might exceed the cost of a new tambourine. I wouldn't know. Probably the goal is to make a fancy,laminated rim,or some such though,all smart alec remarks aside.

cost was why I suggested hunting down an old used one. If it could be had for two bucks, I doubt there are any kits with similar utility.
