DIY Tic-Tac-Toe Game

Here's how we made these cute DIY Tic-Tac-Toe Games!


Tic Tac Toe DIY


This was a great little sewing project for my girls to be involved in, leading up to Christmas. They made gifts for their pen pals and some of their long-distance cousins. I originally found this Tic Tac Toe craft idea among other sewing projects for kids on parents.com. It would be a great gift any time of the year and is a good easy sewing project for kids.

Tic Tac Toe DIY Instructions


  1. Draw a 6x6" square on your felt with a chalk or a vanishing fabric marker
  2. Cut out the square
  3. Draw your tic-tac-toe grid (start with two lines 2" apart, going one way)
  4. Thread the needle with about an arm's length of thread and tie a knot at the end.

Tic Tac Toe Craft

  1. Stitch (over and under, over and under) across the first line and tie a knot on the under side of the game board.
  2. Photo #6 seems to be illustrating step #3 (measuring 2" apart).. oops!
  3. When you come to the end of the line, you can pull your thread back through the last stitch on the under side, to help secure it and then tie a knot and trim the thread.

Homemade Tic Tac Toe Game

  1. Complete each of your 4 lines and you've created your board!

How to Package Your DIY Tic Tac Toe Board


We discovered that a Ziplock sandwich bag is the perfect size to fit the game and pieces inside! Once we had them all packaged up, we just folded the bag in half once and it fit nicely inside an envelope for mailing!

      I'm glad they liked it! :) I was so happy to find something they could make for them, but wouldn't be too difficult to mail to them... and it was good learning/practice too- bonus! ;)

    These are perfect for kids to make and give. They would be perfect for Operation Christmas Child shoe box gifts. I'm pinning this for later. Found it on Mum-bo Monday.

    We had a snow day yesterday- remembered reading about this project. The kids loved it!!! My Daughter is 5 and my Son 7- both had fun with this craft. It meant a lot to them to do something independently. It was the first time they got to use a needle and thread. Thanks for the idea to make a memory for my kids.

    This is a great project to have kids make! I really like how it fits a wide variety of age ranges. I think I will have my church group of girls make this for their babysitting kits.

    Thanks for joining #WanderingWednesday with Confessions of Parenting! :)
