Over-sized Yahtzee Game

August 15, 2013

Happy Birthday Mom!

My Mom is a big Yahtzee fan. My entire childhood she begged me to play with her. It’s not really my fav, so it became a running joke, “wanna play Yahtzee?” Anything but that!

I came across a Lawn Yahtzee game on Pinterest and the giant wooden dice looked like the coolest thing I had ever seen. I had grand ideas of making the huge wooden dice and a large chalk-board score board… After the way the rest of my gifts have been going this summer, I decided to simplify.

My track record this year with Pinterest-inspired gifts or my own grand ideas has been one fail after another! Image transfer to wood = fail. Stained handprint tool belt = fail. Homemade shrinky-dinks from #6 plastic = fail.

I had half the battle figured out months ago when I came across some over-sized foam dice at the dollar store. I think they came in packs of two… So I spent about three dollars, and got a group of orange ones.

I was still planning on creating an impressive wooden scoreboard with chalkboard paint. I think I asked both my husband and dad a few dozen times if they had the right sized piece of wood. Both assured me they did but, after a couple months of asking, we were nearing the deadline and I never got them to actually produce this board I was asking for… repeatedly…

I finally decided it would be a safe idea to pick up a large dry-erase board. It would be easy to return or reuse for another purpose if I did manage to complete the wooden scoreboard.

When I picked up two fun colors of Duct Tape for another project, I had an idea!

So, I give you The Duct Tape Decorated Over-Sized Yahtzee Game!

I know this would definitely be better with some help from a Silhouette – I picture beautiful vinyl lettering… A girl can dream… But it turned out alright.

Check out a sneak peak of the other projects I purchases the Duck Tape for!

Don’t forget to check out this awesome t-shirt to support The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota! We could use tons of help and I’d love to help with a promotion swap with anyone who is willing to pass on the information!
