And the best part? It was under $30 to make!!!! Here is my rustic DIY tic tac toe board:Īnd, here is a tutorial for how to make the tic tac toe board…assuming you can find the letters, of course :-). Now that you’ve heard my wood letter sob story, let’s move on to showing off the finished product that took so long to complete! OK, let me clarify…the waiting took months, but the creating and finishing only took about two hours. Someone out there must be buying up all these letters! So, if you’d like to make a similar board, I will tell you that you might have to wait very patiently for the letters, or find another alternative. Michael’s online finally got some O’s in stock two months ago, and then just last week the X’s came back in stock. My local stores never got any X’s or O’s back in stock. They had the letters online, but the X’s and O’s were all sold out. I bought them and checked at another Michael’s later that week…nothing.

Well, there were only a couple of O’s and just one X available that day. I also found some chunky X and O wood letters that fit in the squares. So, I took a trip to Michael’s, and found an unfinished divided tray that was just perfect for Tic Tac Toe.

Yikes!!! I knew I could make something similar for much less. So fun! I wanted one for our coffee table, but wasn’t about to shell out $79 for one.

I’ve been wanting to make a DIY tic tac toe board for our basement coffee table for a long time, and it should have been fast and easy, but it took forever!! It all started when I saw this cute tic tac toe board in the Ballard Designs catalog. Today I finished a little project I’ve had in the queue for months.
