Mr. & Mrs. Cornhole Boards

061513-Procopio Photography-Artist Favorites-256

I thought it would be so fun to have games at our cocktail hour,

so my handy husband made us some boards and I painted them!

Supplies:

Corn hole boards (already built-thanks hubby!)

Computer/Printer

Cardstock – 8.5×11″ – 1 for each letter/symbol

Plastic sheet

X-acto knife and glass mat

Painter’s tape

Scrap paper or plastic (Save the trees!)

Spray paint of your choice (1 to paint the boards, 1 for the design)

Polyurethane spray – glossy

Directions:

*Before starting – place Corn hole boards on plastic sheet and spray paint in color of your choice

1. Download a Stencil font (I use dafont.com for fonts) and download lips/mustache clip art silhouettes

2. Print out stencils – 1 letter/symbol per sheet of cardstock

(For the MRS, I used smaller sized letters so that it fit across the board)
