What You Will Need

  • Supplies needed for a bottle cap checker board:
  • Washi Tape 2 colors
  • Bottle Caps 28 total
  • Cast Resin or Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
  • Duck Tape 2 colors
  • Gallon size Ziploc bag

Instructions

  • To make the bottle cap playing pieces, place washi tape in the bottom of all of your bottle caps. You will need 14 of each color.
  • To make the checker board, add strips of duck tape on the gallon size Ziploc bag, leaving the zipper and top of the bag untaped. Then, flip the bag over and put strips all the way up the back. Use scissors to trim any excess on the sides.
  • Then, use the same color tape around all three edges to finish off your bag. Again no tape on the zippered top.
  • To make the squares, cut 16 pieces of washi tape into 1 1/4 inch by 1 1/4 inch squares. You will need 8 squares of each washi tape color.
  • Now, you are ready to play. When you are not playing, you can store all your checkers inside the bag.
