Learn how to make your own checkers board by watching the video below, brought to you by Evite in partnership with NESTLÉ® PURE LIFE®.
Materials:
- NESTLÉ® PURE LIFE® Purified Water Halloween collection
- Acrylic Non-toxic Paint
- 32” x 32” Piece of Canvas
- Painters Tape
- Foam Paint Brush
- Printable Halloween Checkers Crowns
- Pencil
- Yardstick
- Scissors
- Tape
- Printer
- White Card Stock
Steps:
Step 1: Using a yardstick and pencil, measure and mark 4″ increments along the top and bottom of the board. Connect the marks to create columns. Then mark 4″ increments along the left and right side of the board and connect to create horizontal rows. You should have eight 4″ x 4″ squares along each side of the board.
Step 2: Once you have created all 64 squares, apply the painter’s tape on the outside edge of the alternating squares you plan to paint. The squares you are not painting will be smaller, but once you remove the tape, all of the squares will be the same size. When painting, alternate between white and colored squares. Let the board dry for 1 hour. Once dry, remove the painter’s tape.
Step 3: Print, cut and tape your “King’s crowns.” Safety Tip: Always exercise care when using scissors.
Step 4: Place NESTLÉ® PURE LIFE® Purified Water Halloween collection bottles on the board, and start playing!
