tic-tac-toe game



I must be on some sort of game kick. Travel checkers board, now tic-tac-toe, and also deck o' cards holder. And I still have ideas for more game related projects. :)

Here is a simple way you can use a drawstring bag to make a tic-tac-toe game. And when you are done just pop the pieces inside the bag for storage!


{gather your supplies}



you'll also need...
Fray Check, sewing machine and basic sewing tools

{what you do}

See the drawsting bag tutorial for instructions on how to make the bag. But just cut your pieces, do not sew together yet! Make your bag any size you want.

Grab a piece of your outer fabric. Cut and lay out 4 pieces of ric rac to create a tic-tac-toe board.



Use Fray Check on the ends of your pieces of ric rac so they won't fray.


Pin and stitch each piece of ric rac down. I used a coordinating thread (yellow).


Pull the threads to the back side and clip.


The front of the bag is finished.


Continue making the drawstirng bag.


Add a rope.


Use stones for game pieces. {or other objects you have, coins, milk jug caps, bottle caps....}


All the pieces fit inside the bag and is ready for travel, the beach, park, backyard, classrooms, or play rooms!


Enjoy! :)

  3. Stacy,

    This is super cute! I love that it is portable and you selected a fab fabric to make it. This a great little game to have on hand when I'm suddenly waiting longer than expected and the kids have already lost their patience!

    I'm visiting from Lines Across My Face. I would love for you to stop by my blog.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Laura

  7. The fabric they used to make it is too good, and it will last for a long time and it will really encourage children to play it.
