Hey guys! I’m back to share another last minute DIY gift–and yes this can definitely be a last minute gift! No mall shopping required!
If you have someone in your life who’s on the DIY-side themselves, they’ll get a kick out of this nuts and bolts chess set (and if they don’t play chess, maybe it will inspire them to learn)!
Things you’ll need:
(From Home Depot)
Nuts & bolts (see below)
Tiles (I used a 10×10, cut down to an 8×8)
Spray paint (I used a hammered gold, and a hammered black)
Stain
Gorilla Glue or Gorilla Epoxy
(From Michael’s)
Unfinished cigar box
Felt
Hot glue
Foam brushes
Chess pieces:
