Recently, our Store staff came up with this fun alternative for our hinged CD tin. Why not make a tic tac toe game that is not only portable but also self-contained!

To create this attractive project, you will need the following:
(all the supplies except the magnetic sheets are available at Essential Packaging)

1 metal CD tin
3 assorted coloured cardstock sheets (we used pink, purple and yellow)
1 ric rac ribbon (we used white)
2 gingham ribbons (we used yellow and purple)
1 package curly fasteners
additional embellishments for the front cover (we added some paper flowers, fasteners)
glue runner / glue dots
hole punch (optional)
1 magnetic sheet (available at craft stores)

To make the tic tac toe game board
1. Attach a piece of coloured cardstock (we used pink) to the front cover, trimmed to fit; embellish as desired
2. Attach the same coloured cardstock to the inside of the tin base, not the lid
3. Glue the ric rac ribbon to form the 9 space game grid

To make the tic tac toe game pieces
4. Cut 2 colurs of cardstock into 1” squares; attach the cardstock squares to ½” squares of magnet
5. Using the gingham ribbon, tie bows to the curly fasteners, then glue the fasteners to the above pieces of cardstock
6. You should have a total of ten game pieces; 5 of one colour combination and 5 of the other colour combination
