Repeat pattern fabric = new game




I love making games, I even did a self directed study on the use of games in a childs learning, I learned a lot and so did the kids. One big hit with kids is memory, so I used some fabric I had and created this game.

And here's the how to:

Materials :



a)repeating pattern fabric



b)heavy cardboard - slightly larger than fabric



c)modge podge or white glue



d)rotary cutter, mat, and straight edge or exacto knife, mat, and straight edge






Directions



1)Cut your fabric into one big piece, iron it so there are no wrinkles or creases



2)Cover the heavy cardboard with modge podge or white glue

3) Place fabric onto modge podge and smooth out, make sure there are no lumps or bubbles

4)Let it dry overnight
5) coat with another layer of modge podge or white glue (sorry no photo for this part)
6)When completely dry, use a rotary cutter/exacto knife and a straight edge to carefully cut apart.
7)Find a container for storing the pieces
8)Have fun playing!
