How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game

Hello, fellow makers! Miranda here from Tinsel + Wheat, thrilled to be guest blogging today with Spellbinders. Today I am sharing this really fun large wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game!

This game would be perfect for a class party or fall carnival or as a fun outdoor yard game or an excellent indoors carpet game! So many options. Let's get started!

Step 1: Cut Your Blocks

Using your miter saw, cut 9 blocks measuring 3.5 x 3.5" each. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 1

Step 2: Sand Edges

Sand all rough edges with sand paper. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 2

Step 3: Stain Blocks

I stained my blocks with an Early American stain. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 3

Step 4: Prepare Stencils

Cut your stencils on 4 x 4" squares of paper or cardstock. Your die sandwich will be white spacer + clear acrylic plate + paper + die + clear acrylic plate. I made a couple of each shape so I could switch off and let the other dry while stenciling. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 4

Step 5: Stencil

Stipple white paint onto your centered stencils. Make sure each block gets a pumpkin on one side and a mad cat on the opposite side. This will assure enough game pieces for each game of tic "cat" toe. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 5

Step 6: Cut Rope

I used 0.75" jute rope for the game grid. Cut each piece of rope to 20". How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 6

Step 7: Seal Rope Ends

To help prevent frayed ends, dip each end of your rope in Mod Podge and let dry. The Mod Podge will dry clear. How to Create a Perfect DIY Wooden Halloween Tic Tac Toe Game by Miranda Webster Step 7

Step 8: Play!
