Apple Tic Tac Toe

Supplies-

  • Small faux decorative apples

  • Wax paper

  • Paint

  • Paint brush

  • Plywood

  • Wood stain

  • Stain rag

  • Painter’s tape

  • Baby wipes or wet cloth

​

 

Basic steps -

  • We used red and green apples to go with our theme. And used barn red paint and a matte teddy bear tan paint to tone down the bright red and green of the original-colored apples.

  • Lay down a sheet of wax paper to protect whatever surface you are painting on.

  • Take the apples and start applying a thin layer of paint with your dry brush and let sit for 30 min to an hour.

  • While the apples are drying, Take the plywood and tape off the plywood 2 even strip horizontally and 2 strips vertically. To make a tic tac toe board. 

  • Take the brush and start adding a light layer of stain to the board. Let it sit for about 2 minutest then use an old rag to wipe off any access stain.

  • Let the stain dry for 24 hours.

  • Once the stain has had time to dry, take the baby wipe or wet cloth and add brown paint to the edges and wipe lightly to get a rustic look on the board.

  • Peel away tape and you can paint over where you had the tape with a white paint to accentuate the lines.

 

*Tips & Tricks*

-Use very little stain and try to not paint over the painters tape to avoid the stain from seeping where you taped off on the board. If it does spread a little that’s ok you can paint over it to show where the boarder is for the tic tac toe.

-If you like a darker stained wood. You can repeat the staining step a couple of times to get the desired darkness you like.

-If you like a more rustic look, you can use a brown paint and go round the edges with a baby wipe or wet cloth and smear a little brown paint around the edges. 

-You can leave the apples the color they came in or paint them to match your color scheme.

-Using a dry brush for painting the apples will help make for a realistic feel to the apple.
