Musical Washboard Christmas Decoration
November 08, 2023
I found this washboard recently at the Minnetonka Goodwill. I have never seen an "Authentic Musical Washboard" in all of my previous washboard finds.
Apparently, it's not vintage. Columbus Washboard Company still manufactures this washboard.
See how I transformed the washboard into fun Christmas decor. Also, it's Thrift Store Decor Team's November party, so scroll on down to more projects below.

I always craft for Christmas during Minnesota's deer hunting season, even though I don't decorate until after Thanksgiving.
I purchased this small wreath/candle ring in 2021 when I attended Bachman's Inspirational Christmas Tour.
Jingle Bells is a page from an old school songbook.
I traced the bottom of a small vintage coffee can onto cardboard and cut out the circle.
It was about the same size as the wreath ring.
I used Mod Podge in matte finish to attach the music to the cardboard.
I do regret that I used a piece of cardboard with a couple of creases!
I didn't know they would be as noticeable.
I then hot glued the back of the wreath ring to the sheet music/cardboard.
A ceramic magnet disc was hot glued to the bottom of the cardboard.
I had some metal jingle bells from previous Christmases. I had chalk painted them.
I tied jute twine on the bells and attached them to the back of the washboard with magnetic clips.

I think it's adorable.

I can remove all of the decorations on the washboard after Christmas!
