Diy folding game board

Cut a piece of pressed cardboard into four equal square pieces dependent on the size of the board game you are making , such as 7. Make sure the edges are perfectly straight and the four pieces fit together into a perfect 15" x 15" game board. Take two of the cardboard squares and place them side by side so that their edges are touching. Place them both face up as they will likely be the same on each face, determine now which side you want to be the top, and which you want to be the bottom—this will come into play later.

Place a strip of duct tape along the crease where the two boards meet. Apply the tape to the top of the boards, as opposed to underneath. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining two squares of cardboard. The tape will create a hinge that will allow you to bend the boards, but keep them in their right positions. You should now have two rectangle sections of two taped squares each.

Place the two taped sections next to each other face down. Place them so that you have created an exact square with your two sections of cardboard. Place a length of tape along one of the squares between the two sections the tape will only be 7. This will result in taping every square to one another except for two adjacent squares. Tape all of the edges of the cardboard with duct tape, making sure that you don't cross a joint with the tape as this will hinder the folding of the board.

This tape along the outside will help increase the longevity and durability of your game board. Print your printable game board template out. Reply 4 years ago. I know more now, all the way to hundred if you add to where i left off, I love this instructable, very detailed and clear.
