DIY Tic-Tac-Toe: How to Make a Yard Game For Outdoor Fun
15.11.2023 - 03:33 / hometalk.com
My sister-in-law, Bree, is getting married this fall so we are in full wedding planning mode over here.
She is having a gorgeous outdoor wedding and thought it would be fun to make a DIY tic-tac-toe that we could put in the garden. She asked me to help her create it for the reception.
There was definitely some sweat equity that went into making this (literally) but I'm pleased with how it came out.

Begin by spray painting the PVC pieces with Rustoleum Metallic Copper finish. Make sure to paint both sides, allowing one side to dry completely before flipping them over to spray the other side.
Seeing as those this game was going outdoors, I decided to make a giant tic-tac-toe board.
I chose to make mine 4'x4' so I measured out eight (8) 4' sections of the rope.
To create your tic-tac-toe board, you'll need four 4-foot sections of rope. Measure and mark these sections, then tie twine at each mark. This will prevent the rope from fraying and coming apart.
Then, I tied twine on my 4' marks. You'll want to include this part of the step so that your rope doesn't fray and pull apart.
After I finished tying the twine, I used a box cutter to cut through the rope.
I had to bear down hard and use a short, quick sawing motion (and caution, of course!)--I wasn't sure if this method of cutting would work with such thick rope but it surprisingly cut right through.
Lay out your eight 4-foot rope pieces to form a tic-tac-toe board, so you can visualize how it will look.
Slide two PVC Tees onto each rope section.
Then, I applied E6000 glue to each end of the 90 elbows and pushed the rope into either end of the elbows.

Inside an Englishwoman’s dahlia-filled garden in Connecticut | House & Garden
You can take an Englishwoman out of England, but you can’t change a deeply ingrained English garden aesthetic. Pom Shillingford has lived in America for 26 years, but she still yearns for the garden she knew as a child — her grandmother’s beloved Arts & Crafts garden in Hampshire, which she remembers always being filled with seasonal flowers. She and her husband David and their three young children moved from Manhattan to the small town of Salisbury in Connecticut in 2013. ‘I had always loved Manhattan, but suddenly I didn’t love it any more and needed to go back to green fields and the outdoors,’ says Pom.
