Gameboard Directions

Step 1: 

Line up a ruler with the marks on your painting. Draw light pencil lines to divide the box into 8 equal strips. Cut these strips using scissors (or a paper cutter using an adult's help). There will be two skinny scraps left over. Set aside the 8 strips.

Step 2: 

Place a ruler along the top of edge of the box on your zentangle sheet. Make marks at the following measurements:

• 1.25"

• 2.5"

• 3.75"

• 5"

• 6.25"

• 7.5"

• 8.75"

Repeat on the bottom. Connect the dots and draw lines to create 8 equal strips.

Use scissors to carefully cut out the strips.

Note: if you did not make a zentangle you can also use 1.25" strips of any paper. Construction paper would work great.

Step 3: 

Lay out the 8 strips of your painting. Weave the strips of your zentangle through the painted strips using using an under-over pattern.

Weave a second zentangle through using an over-under pattern. 

Repeat until you have a checkerboard that is 8 squares by 8 squares.

Make sure to keep your strips snug. Make sure to slide them all the way up!

Glue down to secure with a gluestick.
