This was a more time consuming craft then the others I did this year, but well worth it in the end. I used smaller wooden blocks for the dice than she did in the tutorial. I think next time I would go bigger, more like hers. Mine are 1x1 inch that I found at the craft store in a package of 16 wooden pieces for $2.
There is a lot of dry time in between coats. I would do a little then go start something else (like laundry or dinner) and wouldn't pick up again until later or even the next day.
This is a picture of the box I used. I bought a cardboard box that is meant to look like a book. Then I painted it white and covered the front and back with scrapbook paper.
I think it came out really cute! I hope the family that gets this likes it! My kids want to make one for us too! They were actually playing with this game and really got a kick out of it!When I took the pictures I was letting the top dry before I added a "label" that read "Family Yahtzee" -- then I went on and wrapped the present before I had a chance to take a picture of my label. Shoot. So you don't get to see the end result. Sometimes I wonder where I left my brain!
