An easy homemade tic tac toe board becomes note only a favorite game, but a favorite piece of decor.
I never win in tic tac toe against my kids, but it is still so fun to play! It was fun putting together some really easy and pretty tic tac toe boards that look great sitting on the coffee table as decor and left out for easy playing.

I’m excited to share these ideas as part of a Craft Hop organized by Chloe of Celebrate and Decorate and Andrea of Design Morsels. Find the full list of all those participating at the end of the post.
One of my design principles is styling spaces that encourage family and friends to linger longer and leaving out games is one of the ways i accomplish that.
If you are coming over from My Family Thyme welomce! I’m so glad you have come to visit at Camp Paradise, our lakeside log cabin home in The Northwoods of Wisconsin.
For the base of my tic tac toe board I used a wooden charger I had at home from Walmart.
Then I went out into the yard and picked up a few sticks to make the shape.I did not glue them down, but you could.
There are so many options of what to use for the Xs and Os. I tried a few different things and love them all.
These blue and white velvet pumpkins from Hobby Lobby work perfectly and give a little elegance to the rustic look.
I also used some pinecones and acorns.
The board looks so pretty just sitting out on the table. It’s beautiful styled in with my other coffee table decor.The best thing about all these boards are how easy and quick they were to put together. They were also so inexpensive. I used pieces I had around the house or foraged in the woods.
I also used little green and white guards. Mine are from Hobby Lobby.
I love how the tic tac toe board looks on the coffee table, on an ottoman or even on a Scotch Cooler I use as an end table. It’s the perfect size to pick up and move around as it’s so lightweight.

Well that’s the easiest craft and cutest décor ever! Love the little acorn and pine cones for a pick me up game of tic tac toe. I’m a huge fan of vintage skotch koolers too! Happy to be crafting with you today. ♥
This is so creative. Kristin! And it looks good, too! If they made a book on creating games to play during the pandemic, this game would be a favorite! How unique and creative to use sticks, pine cones, and acorns to create the pieces to play. And it’s So versatile too – using things around the house and outdoors! I think you’ve started something – so many ideas!
I love it with the mini gourds. Where did you find those? So cute as always. Looking forward to your podcast.
I love this simple, heartwarming craft idea! especially the oh-so-clever different fall and natural element options for the play pieces! Charming Kristin.
How simple but oh so clever!! I love that you showed several different choices of playing pieces, the pumpkins, gourds, acorns, they are all so cute! It’s always a pleasure to visit you at your beautiful lakeside home!
It doesn’t get any easier than this, does it? Great idea! I should try it with my kids.

This turned out so cute and I love it! Wonderful craft hopping with you friend!
This is so adorable Kristin! Of course, I’d probably choose to do acorns – lol. So simple, creative and fun. Bring on Fall!
Kristin I love this, being an acorn junkie that’s hands-down my favorite.
I have 100s of preserved real acorns.

I love it. I think I might use different kinds of Hershey kisses – and then we would have to eat them (after all, they’ve been touched) ‘cause that is now how I roll during this pandemic. Any excuse to fit in more chocolate in my day.
Simple, clever, and beyond me…………….lol
I love that this is a functional game and home decor. My favorite combination is the pinecones and acorns. This game fits in perfectly with your rustic cabin decor, Kristin. I also wanted to congratulate you on opening the shop. How exciting! I wish I lived closer so I could shop there 🙂
So Simple and clever….but what really caught my eye was all of your beautiful plaids!!
Quick, easy and perfectly suited to your style! The pinecones and acorns are my favorites! Thanks for joining in the hop once again!
