Editorial Guidelines Published on March 12, 2024 If you enjoy having people over for game night, this DIY project offers a convenient way to play the classics, like tic-tac-toe and checkers. To make it, we used an old wooden organizer with drawers and transformed it into an entertaining staple. We painted the base of each drawer to resemble the design of some of our favorite games. For example, we added nine squares for tic-tac-toe and 64 squares for checkers. Not only does this provide a unique approach to game night, but it also keeps all of the game pieces organized, so you never risk losing a key player again.
