How to Make a Tic Tac Toe Game from a Cutting Board

This is a fun way to make a board game out of an actual board. It's a good project to work on with kids, and a fun game bring with you to picnics or barbecues in the summer.

EditSteps

Gather the materials needed. You can get a cutting board for under $3 USD at a thrift store.
Wash and sand down the cutting board.
Apply stain of choice. This is optional.
- If you stain, apply a shellac to reduce dry time and for better paint application.
Outline the tic tac toe game with tape.
Apply alphabet letters.
Paint forks and spoons opposing colors and let dry.
- Dip the forks and spoons directly into the paint.
Paint the board.
Allow paint on the board time to dry.
Remove the letters and tape.
Dip the spoons and forks in the opposing color to provide contrasting colors and visual interest.
Outline the game with a gold leaf pen. Outline the letters and lines to your personal preference.
Highlight the board with ribbon.
Once the spoons and forks are dry, cut down the stem and highlight with accent paint.
Enjoy your game of upcycled tic-tac-toe!
