Tues Tutorial~ Tic Tac Toe Flannel Board

 

I recently got a request to make a wall hanging TicTacToe game for a Halloween Bash. Limited space means there wasn't much room for tables or floor playing so we went to the wall.  Here is how I put it together. 
 
 
 
 
*****************
Tuesday Tutorial
******************
 

I pulled out my bolt of red flannel I bought at 
a Florida second hand store for about 5$,
 and cut a 24 inch square
That piece was marked off in 8 inch squares.
A piece of cotton black scrap was cut 
into 1 inch wide pieces
 that was longer than 24 inches.
A piece of black felt cut 
into ten 6 inch squares
 will also be needed. 
I cut that from a 1 yard piece I got
 for a buck in Florida as well. 
 (And that's why we buy fabric when its a great deal.)

The one inch strips
 were pressed in half,
 then edges pressed
 to meet the center fold.
 
Strips were stitched along edge,
with wrong side of strip 
centered on the drawn line.
Pin if you need.
Eight inch long pieces x 1 inch 
(or whatever length will tie over your rod)
 were folded in half with folded edges meeting,
and stitched along each edge to make ties.
These were what I had leftover from the 1 inch strips for the lines.
The ends were turned under before edge stitching was completed.
The tie was folded in half to find the center.
The center was placed at the top edge of board (pick your top)
then triple stitched down in center as shown above.
 
Tack down a tie
 at the top of the 2 mid lines 
and on each end
as shown above.
To make the O and Xs,
cut the black flannel 
into 6 inch squares.
You need TEN squares.

 

Use a compass, saucer or anything
 to cut a paper pattern
 for a 5½ inch diameter circle.
 
You can fold your felt square and circle
into fourths as shown and
 cut off the outer felt to make a circle.
I ended up laying open and flat, 
pinning and cutting to 
make a more perfect circle for the O.
Make FIVE circles.
Cut a 5½ inch square paper pattern
and fold as shown above.
Mark off 1 inch on the 2 sides as shown.
Cut out the center on the angle.

 
Fold the flannel square
 the same way you did the paper.
 
Cut out the triangle of flannel
as marked above
same as you did the paper
Make FIVE Xs.
 
Whoever makes the first play
 will use all 5 of their pieces.
That's why 5 of each are made.
 
I bought a hand full of misprinted yard sticks. 
I think the yard stick will work fine 
to hang this lightweight flannel 
wall board game. 
Just tie the ties around the yard stick.
 

 I hope they have fun.
