Thanks to DecoArt for supplying some of the supplies for this project.
Hello there! Happy Saturday! Today I am excited to be joining Remodelaholic & some of my other favorite bloggers, as Remodelaholic kicks off their fun 2x4 & More challenge week. Let me show you how I made this Jumbo Tic Tac Toe board with a few lumber scraps laying around my garage. :)
Alright, let’s get started! First you’ll need to gather some supplies.
Supplies:
- miter saw
- 2x4 board cut into four 14 1/2 inch pieces with ends cut to a 45 degree angle to fit together
- 2x12 board cut into 11 1/4 inch by 11 1/4 inch square
- 2x4 board cut into nine 3 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch blocks
- foam paint brush
- rag
- hand sander & sandpaper
- vinyl letters
First you’ll assemble your board. We used a nail gun to do this.
The bottom piece of our board fit so snugly that we almost didn’t have to nail it in. Buuuut just incase, we added 2 nails on each side to just to help hold it in place. After it was assemble, I sanded all the edges. Then I sanded my 2x4 blocks as well.
Next, I used some Americana Décor Color Self-Sealing Stain to stain my board & blocks a nice blue!
I let that dry really well, and then I applied my vinyl lettering. Easy peasy!
