Here's how to make it.
You will need:
4 wooden sticks for the framePipe cleaners (or pebbles, buttons, beads, ... always 5 of one color, 10 in total)
A bag or box
Optional:
Paint
Glue
How it's done:
Take your wooden sticks and cut them to the same length. If you want to, you can glue them to another resembling the outline of the board, but it's okay to simply lay them out when playing for easier storage. Next, you're going to take your pebbles and mark them somehow. To do that, you could draw "x"s on five of the stones and "o"s on the other five. You could also paint half of the stones in one color and the other in another. For the pipe cleaners, I cut ten short pieces (about 2-2.5 cm) and twisted two together in the middle for the "x"s and for the "o"s I took five longer ones, wrapped them around my thumb and twisted the ends together.Make sure everything fits inside the bag or box you want to use. You can paint the box or embroider the bag if you want to.
And that's it!
How about making it to fit inside a match box? Take four toothpicks and cut them to size and use small buttons instead of pebbles.
You could go for an all natural look as well if you pick up little sticks from your garden and use e.g.
horse chestnuts as gaming pieces. This diy is really versatile and not that time consuming.
I hope you have a nice day!
I've always liked Tic-Tac-Toe, which is also known as Noughts and Crosses, and I play the game regularly. However, I've been using countless pens and scribbling down the information on multitudes of paper when playing. Your tutorial has given me another way to play the game which is environmentally friendly, and which uses resources that are more aesthetic in appearance. I also like how you can make the pieces fit inside a matchbox as this is a very convenient, compact and portable way to always have the pieces on you. Well done on making such a fantastic tutorial.
