I created a Tic Tac Toe board for my granddaughter by painting a deep 6x6 canvas. I drew the lines with a sharpie and die cut the letters. I used Mod Podge to seal everything up. The playing pieces of X's and O's were die cut 5 or 6 times with a heavy cardstock, then with the designer paper and all layered together to create thick playing pieces. The pieces can be stored in the back of the board when not in use.
