Make a handy travel game

Each month, Stephanie Martinez will share an exciting craft project designed to inspire and spark creativity.

Stephanie starred in the first season of Making It on Network 10, where she discovered and ignited her passion for crafting.

Join Stephanie as she explores the endless possibilities of crafting and turn everyday materials into something extraordinary.

This month, Stephanie is creating a travel Tic-Tac-Toe

Materials

Coloured felt (11cm x 30cm)

10 buttons in two different colours (5 of each)

Coloured sticky felt

Hook and loop spots (e.g velcro dots)

Equipment

Scissors

Double sided tape

Instructions

Step 1

Cut a piece of coloured felt to measure 11cm x 30cm.

Step 2

Cut two strips of double sided tape, each 12cm long. Lay felt horizontally, then stick the tape along the top and bottom edges on one side. Fold the felt up from the bottom to create a pouch, pressing firmly to stick it in place. The top portion should remain as a flap.

Step 3

Attach a hook and loop spot under the flap to keep your pouch securely closed and easy to open.

Step 4

Cut four thin strips of sticky felt and arrange them on the front of the pouch to form a tic-tac-toe grid – two vertical and two horizontal lines.

Step 5

Pop your buttons inside the pouch for easy storage, and you’re ready to play anytime, anywhere! The pouch keeps everything tidy and travel ready.
