The inspiration for this Tic-Tac-Toe board came from a tree stump in my parents’ backyard. I’ve often told my Mom she should turn that tree stump into a backyard Tic-Tac-Toe board. But because it isn’t the most ideal space to sit around, Mom made it her flowerpot stand instead.
Recently, I found a set of three wood rounds on clearance at Marshall’s. I thought about buying the set and using them for photo props. I passed on the purchase. Then the idea for this DIY came to mind and I ran back to Marshall’s two days later to see if they were still sitting on the shelf. I was happy to see they were still there! So I snatched them up and took them home. Using the smallest wood slice, I created a DIY chalkboard Tic-Tac-Toe so you can play this childhood game over and over again!
SUPPLIES
- 9 1/2-10 inch wood slice
- Chalkboard paint
- Foam brush or paintbrush
- White bistro chalk marker
- Ruler
- White chalk
STEPS
- Paint a layer of chalkboard paint over the surface of your wood slice. Make sure to keep the edge of the wood slice visible for that “rustic” feel!
- Once chalkboard paint has dried, rub a stick of white chalk over the surface to activate the chalkboard paint.
- Wipe the chalk off of the wood slice, rubbing it in slightly to create a nice, chalky surface.
- Use your ruler and bistro chalk marker to create your Tic-Tac-Toe board. Make sure you have 9 spaces for your X’s and O’s!
- Game on! Give each player a stick of chalk and fill your rustic Tic-Tac-Toe board with X’s and O’s!
