Samantha's Wash Board I made the wash board by taking a can and cutting it down the middle.  Then finding a board, screwing the can onto the board.  We found a piece of metal to play it with.  Then we found a square bottle and cut that and braced it around the board.  Then we cut it.  Last I painted it blue. I got the idea from my mom.  My mom found a wash board, but I didn't want to bring that wash board to school, so me and my dad went out and made the wash board. The thing I like best about my instrument is that no one thought of it and my classmates thought it was cool and I hope you do too.
