We love front porch sittin’. It’s what we do best in the summer time. Especially while it rains. This game board was crafted with those specific days and nights in mind. My big fam, a little Tic Tac Gnome, endless jars of iced tea and lots of laughs are what I am looking forward to this summer!
Gather your supplies.
- Gnome people and door (mine were found at Dollar General)
- Wood stump (I happen to have a ridiculous amount of these in my backyard)
- Steel charger/wood plate/plastic plate (mine was at Dollar General)
- Black duct tape
- X’s & O’s (from wood slices & pebbles)
- Artificial grass turf
- Artificial tall grass square
- Miniature craft wood picket fence
- Hot Glue
- Drill & screws
Trace your plate shape on the back of your artificial grass piece and cut with a box cutter. Mark your X’s and O’s on your pebbles and wood slices with a permanent marker.
Drill starter hole into charger Screw charger into stump Attach grass to charger with hot glue Drill starter hole into gnome door Attach door to stump with a screw Screw into a spot easily hidden
To decorate the top of the game board, I gathered a few additional supplies. This miniature picket fence and this square of long artificial grass are both common items in most craft stores.
Make your hashtag tic tac toe shape using the black duct tape centered on the grass covered charger. Using hot glue, attach the picket fence around the back half of the circle and also to attach small pieces of the tall grass randomly around the edge. I decided to glue the gnome guys down too just to ensure they didn’t fall off, get pushed off, get lost, etc.
Time to play!
