This is a Valentine Tic Tac Toe Board
Instruction
I wanted to do something different for Valentines. This is a tic tac toe board. The wood is Birch. The cut out pieces including the grid lines are 3mm Birch. The base is 6mm Birch.
I was thinking of something different to make as a gift for Valentine's that would double as decor but also fun. I thought of tic tac toe. I created the heart with the word “love” by united the “love” to the outer heart. I created a small heart within another larger heart, combined them and then united that to the bottom of the large heart. The other heart i just took the inside from a template of a card svg template I found on the internet and united and subtracted to a heart. I made the size of both at 2.5. I then created the grid. The base is 10X10.
After processing all the pieces. I used a red alcohol marker to color in the pieces and dark wood stain to stain the board. Wood glue to glue down the grid to the base. Spray a sealant after the stain and marker is dry.
In hindsight, it would be better to do the staining before the gluing.
