It is better to have more space for sound output. In the case of the can it is not necessary, just place inside a circle of cardboard.

146. Decorate the pot or can .

147. We introduce the skin in cold water for two hours when it is soft, place the bottom end of the rod in the centre and tie tightly with a thin rope through the bottom skin thickening around the knot so that it is well fixed but without piercing the skin with the cane. After that it is necessary to cross it with a pin (in this case must be made in advance a very fine hole with a drill) or with a few pins. The skin about 25 cm diameter (bigger than the mouth of the container). We can get from buying a Christmas tambourines patch of skin and dismounting. Some musical instruments stores also sell them but are usually more expensive.

148. Stretch the still wet skin over the mouth of the container and fastened with a strong rubber (someone can help us as we tie two or three turns of rope around his mouth) and pull the skin on its ends to achieve the greatest tension to remove wrinkles as possible (no matter if there is any). There are several more rounds of rope until it is tightly bound
