Wednesday, I joined fellow church members from Argenta UMC and a couple other local churches in painting picnic tables for the Children’s Home at Methodist Family Health. I suggested we paint game boards on the table, a checker board and a tic-tac-toe board. One of my fellow church members donated checkers for the checker board, but I had to come up with something durable and colorful for the tic-tac-toe pieces. Did I mention, I was hoping it would be free? So I tore apart my studio, brainstorming for things to turn into tic-tac-toe pieces and realized that I had a heck of a lot of CD jewel cases that were just gathering dust. So I used some scrapbook paper to create new inserts for the CD cases and cut out X’s and O’s to glue on the inserts to create the game pieces. I glued the cases shut with an industrial strength adhesive so they couldn’t be opened again. I strongly dislike having nothing to do with those CD jewel cases, so I was happy to find this use for them.
