Let the paint on the wood dry and then use the Cricut Weeding Tool and remove the removable vinyl to reveal the wood underneath. Remember don’t paint over the letters just around the area from the dabbing and blend it in. You can use a regular paintbrush (this is my favorite one) to paint the rest of the wood block. I did two coats of stenciling around the x and o’s before removing them. When all the lawn game pieces are finished the x’s and o’s will be the wood underneath. I’ve never used the word “dabbing” so much before. Start by dabbing your make up wedge in the paint, then dab it onto the paper plate before dabbing it onto the wood. To do this, I’m going to use a make up wedge and dab up and down to paint around the stencil. My biggest tip for this project is to the paint the sides of the squares first, then do the stenciling on top. The kids just love colorful stuff and they will be easy to find in the lawn. So I chose 5 and painted the squares with my favorite craft paints and Flat Brush (this combination makes paint projects so easy). At first I was going to use 10 different colors, but decided that was to much. When all the tic tac toe game pieces are ready with x’s and o’s, I will paint them a variety of colors. I added mine like a sticker and gently used the scraper to adhere the vinyl. The X’s and O’s are simple to remove and add to the blocks so I didn’t use transfer tape, but you can if you want to. The Cricut Joy came in super handy for this project. It’s a nice chunky font and perfect for the top of the blocks. I used the Cricut Access Fonts– Headline News. To add the x’s and o’s to the wood squares, I’m going to create x’s and o’s in Cricut Design Space™ and cut them in removable vinyl. Creating the DIY Game Pieces for the Lawn On a few of the pieces my husband filled in some spaces with wood putty that he just couldn’t get smooth from sanding. Then give your squares a good sanding around the edges to make sure no one will get a splinter (that would ruin the game really fast). To get started cut your 4×4 into 5 squares about 2 inches wide.
