Valentine’s Day tic tac toe
What you need
- Plywood
- Craftwood letters ‘ x’ and ‘o’
- Sandpaper
- Paint and brushes
- Chalkboard paint
- Border – stickers, or ribbon tape (optional)
Instructions
If you were unable to find a square piece of plywood, you can measure and then carefully cut a piece to size using an X-acto knife.
With your plywood cut to size, paint the board with chalkboard paint. You will need 3-4 coats for a durable, writable surface. Once the paint is dry, you can add your border.
While you’re waiting for the coats of chalkboard paint to dry, you can paint your ‘X’ and ‘O’ letters with acrylic paint. Red and white make perfect Valentine’s Day colors, but you can choose any colors you’d like. You will need about 3 coats of paint on your letters, too.
Once all of your paint has dried, you’re ready! Draw your grid lines with some chalk and play a game of tic-tac-toe with your valentine.
