DIY Wood Cube Puzzle

DIY_Wood_Cube_Puzzle
This game is endlessly entertaining and because of it’s size, is also perfectly portable. Increase the difficulty by adding trails of different colors to the cubes so that both trails and colors must match to win!

Things you’ll need:
9 Wooden cubes
Polyurethane spray
Permanent Marker
Rubber Band

Things to do:
1. On a covered and well ventilated work surface, coat each side of the cubes with a thin coat of sealer. This keeps the pen ink from spreading along the grain and helps protect the cubes.
2. Once the cubes are dry, lay the cubes out in a square and use the rubber band to secure them in place.

3. Using your pens, draw dotted or dashed trails around the larger square. Allow the ink to dry.

4. Flip some of the cubes and, using the drop off points on the original trails, connect these sides with different variations of the trails.
5. Continue flipping and adding trails until all sides are covered.

These pretty little crowns are perfect for the princess in your life and are an excellent project for a party or a rainy day.

Things you’ll need:
Lace ribbon
Fabric stiffener
Wax paper
Spray paint (optional)
Spray glitter (optional)
Craft glue
Scissors
Bobby pins or clips

Things to do:
1. Cut two foot lengths of lace and lay out onto the wax paper. Spray generously with the fabric stiffener, flipping so that both sides get well soaked. Allow the stiffener to dry completely. The lace should be stiff but still bendable. Repeat with another coat of stiffener if the lace is not stiff enough.

2. Once the lace is stiff and dry, spray with a thin coat of paint on each side. If you are doing this activity with children, switch out spray paint with acrylic craft paint or leave the lace unpainted.
