 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreateCrafts. Thanks for coming back to my channel, and if you're new here, welcome. Have a look around after the video and hit that subscribe button as I have many how-to craft tutorials. In today's video, I will be showing you step-by-step on how to create a drunken tic-tac-toe board game. It was really simple to create and a lot of fun to play. Hope you enjoy this DIY tutorial. All right guys, to get started you need to create a file. These are the files that I've already created in design space. They are so simple to make. There's actually two ways that you can make these. One is a little bit harder, but you would do it yourself, and the second one is a little bit of cheating. So the first way to do these is you can click on shapes. You can click on shapes, click on square, and then make it smaller to represent a line, and then do, you know, four of these. Duplicate them each time and make four of them and then make your board this way. But then you got to kind of have you kind of have to guess and figure out how wide you need them and make sure that there's centered all the way and kind of go that route. And it's a little bit harder, but this way you can say you did it yourself. But there's a much easier way. So this is how you can do it if you want, but I will show you a much easier way. So go into your web browser and then just type in tic-tac-toe SVG, and I'm gonna click on images. All I'm really looking for is the lines. I don't want the letters. I don't want the little X's and O's. I don't want anything with this. So when I look for these, I look when I look for images, I look for ones that don't have the little square backgrounds that don't have things on and already. I'm just looking for the SVG file. I'm also looking for to make sure that it does not have a watermark or say from Etsy or anything like that. I do not want to steal from anybody else. I'm just using a Google image that anybody is free to use. So let's say you like this one. It doesn't have a watermark. It's not saying by it. So you just right-click on it and then you go to save image as and then you can change it to whatever you want. So I'm just gonna change it to tic. I know it's going in my downloads. I'm gonna save it. And I'm gonna go back to design space. I'm gonna go to upload, upload images. I will browse for it and then I know it's right here. It's under my downloads and here it is here. So I'm gonna open it up. I'm gonna click simple because it's just no colors to it and I'm just gonna click all the white spots to make little boxes go in the background. So that was easy. So I'm just gonna continue and here it is. You want to save and cut the image. I'm gonna save that and here it is. So here's another one I did before previously, but I wanted to show you how to do it. So I have it here. I'm gonna select it and then push import image. So here it is. So I said this is the cheating way. And you know it's evenly spaced and all that rather than this. But another thing if you did want to go this route and you had took the time and made it all centered, you want to make sure you select all of your image and push weld instead of attach because if you did attach, it would cut out these little lines here that are in between each piece. So this one I'm gonna get rid of. I don't want to do that. I'm gonna go this way of actually cheating a little bit. I'm gonna make it larger so everybody can see it and then the next step is figuring out what you wanted to say. I have two different ones here. This one says three shots. This one says triple shot. Here we go. A triple shot, a poem and it takes two. So you can do it any way you want. So the easy way to do that is just click text and then you can type whatever you want. So we'll put three shots. So a couple things here you have to realize or work with is you want to center this. But I'm gonna work with the font first. So it's already selected. I'm gonna go up to font and then I'm gonna go to system because I don't have design space the monthly or the yearly subscription. So I'm not gonna pay for these. So I'm just gonna click on system and here are all the free fonts that I have from design space or that I downloaded from defont.com. If you're not familiar with defont.com I have a video a few videos back showing you how to get those fonts off of defont and put them into design space. It's really quick and easy. So going back to this I'm just gonna pick one that I like. I'm just gonna do this aerial black because I want to have one that's bold. So the next thing you want to do is it's not centered. So you just want to click align and center it. And another thing that I don't like is how big of a space it is here. So with it selected again you can go to line spacing and just click the down button. And if that's gonna take you a while which this one would I'll show you an easier way. So with it selected I'm gonna let it catch up. Click the ungroup button up here and then that's just gonna undo every letter that I have. So I don't want to mess these up so I'm gonna select all these and I'm gonna attach it right away. That way I won't screw up how these are in line with each other. So I'm just gonna take it push my up arrow a few times and it's gonna bring it up to about where I want it to be. So again it's not select not attached to each other. So if I move this the three would be different than the shot. So I'm gonna select it again go to attach make it a little bit smaller and then move it over to where I want it. You can put it anywhere you want. It doesn't have to be there. Whoops the wrong piece. You can put it anywhere you want. So this one I'm going to put here but then you just gotta work with the size of it. So I like how that looks. So I'm just gonna continue doing the same thing. I'm gonna go into the text. I'm gonna write the next one. I'm gonna do take a shot. And this already has the aerial bold or sorry the aerial black so I don't have to change it. I like to keep all of my fonts the same but again I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna center it. So I'm gonna click alignment. I'm gonna click center and I don't like how far these are from each other. So I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna go to ungroup. I'm gonna go ahead and select this first part and attach it and then also do that with this one. Just because if I don't each letter will be individual. So I'm just gonna take the take word, select it, take my down arrow, push it a few times and then this one take up a few times just with the arrow and take a look at it. See where you like it. I think that looks a little better. Again I like to center it again after I just messed up but messed with it a little bit. So I'm gonna go to align and then center and then center everything for me. So there you go. That's easy. So you can change the color if you want with these. You can change the style or the font that you want but it's just as easy as that. Since how I did it with all these you can change the wording to however you want it. You can change these to be different colors like if you want this one black or if you want that one blue. One thing I did notice luckily that I clicked on this. I'm gonna move this for a minute. This I did not attach yet. So as you saw it moves because I did not attach it. So I'm gonna do it one more time and align it and then I'm gonna go down to attach because you don't want that to happen because if you go to cut this out right now and you didn't do that it would cut out take separately, a separately and shot. So you'd have to line those up yourself. So one thing you gotta be careful for. So I'm just gonna move this over and I'm just gonna finish this one up. So I'm gonna just grab these and try to make them centered. Make this guy a little bit smaller. I mean it's a little bit of work but again you make it any way that you want. So I'm gonna finish this up. I am finished with this third one here. One thing I did notice afterwards is it's okay. Anything handmade is never gonna be perfect. So this one image that I chose has this little weird angle I guess on the side here. I'm not too worried about it but I am finished with this. This is your chance to change the colors if you want. Like if you wanted to have your numbers a different color like your two shots three shots whatever you can change the color or you can leave it all as one. I'm going to leave it all as one color and then just color it change it to maybe a blue or a dark blue or a yellow. So I'm gonna change each of one of these to be different color but one last thing you want to do before you cut out is you want to select your whole thing that you did and then attach it. Again if you don't do that it will cut out separately. So your box will cut out separately and all the words that you have sorry my computer is kind of slow but I'm still here. So you want to attach everything so all your words are so it looks exactly like it is now. So the one last part you want to do is just change the size while you have it selected and I bought my trivets or cutting board my glass cutting board whatever you want to call it at the dollar store. So mine are 7.75 by 7.75. I'm gonna make mine a little bit smaller so I'm gonna do maybe 7.5 by 7.5 so with it selected I go up to the unlock box and then I'm just gonna change it here so I'm gonna do I maybe do 6.0 or 7.60 and see how that looks and here's where you can change anything if you want. I try to get everything the same size. So I like how it looks and I like the size that I have on here so I'm gonna change these two really quickly these two are already attached to each other. I'm just gonna change the size again go up to the unlock box change it. You just want to make sure that you do not go over the size of your cutting board so that's what I'm doing here. So I'm just going a little bit under again at 7.75 so I've got a little bit of wiggle room in between this and then I'm just gonna finish up with my last one here and change the size on it and then I think I'm just gonna change the color of each one of them where I have one black one one blue one and maybe one teal color trying to think what people would like. I'm going to be selling these at our local store that I have a lot selling at. I already made one of these and I forgot to make a video tutorial on it. I didn't think it was gonna sell to be honest with you because of the supplies that I have bought and put into it and the time that I have put into it I had a rather higher price take on it of $25 honestly guys I didn't think it was gonna sell and the lady emailed me and said you know that board that you didn't think was gonna sell well it did so after she takes her commission and after the time and um supplies that I put into it I still made about $18 so within a couple of minutes of creating this it's a lot worth my time. I buy the um shot glasses from the dollar store but I noticed lately they didn't have them at the dollar store. I'm gonna finish this up quick but they didn't have any at the dollar store so the other thing that you can do is order them on amazon and that's actually where I bought my first box of them from. I will show you those when I get to that point and I'll show you my trivet that I'm using and everything but everything can be purchased at the dollar store. The trivet or the cutting board and the shot glasses. All right guys so before you go out and cut this if you want to change the color now you would change the color but one thing that you need to do is cut out your X's and O's for your shot glasses. So I'm gonna make six of each so I'm gonna make six X's but before I do I'm gonna change the size of this so I know I'm gonna want that to be a one by one so I'm gonna go up to the unlock box up here and change that to one by one and then I know I'm gonna want six of those but before I go ahead and do that I'm gonna go to the text box and write an O and change the size of these guys really quick to one by one so now I have my X and O right so the next thing you want to do is duplicate it five times you have six of each I'm selected it I'm gonna go up to my duplicate button and hit that five times so that's one two three four five so there we go so we've got to make sure that you cut out six for each piece so I have three that I'm cutting out here so I'm gonna take the bottom two and make a duplicate so to do that the easy way I have this one selected I'm pushing the command button and I'm pushing my mouse button on this one so I made so I have just these two selected so I'm gonna hit duplicate just makes it a lot easier take this one over here and then again duplicated five more times so that I have six over here as well and then also just the same thing I already have it duplicated so I'm gonna hit it one more time and bring that last one over here and then just do five more again all right so this is really um a lot quicker than what it how I'm showing you because I'm showing you how to do it but once you get it this will be so easy to do so another thing I want to do is just change the color of this all right guys I don't know if you can hear it my cat just jumped up on the table and he is purring really loud so I'm sorry if you can hear that so the last thing you want to do is change the color of this so I'm going to select all these X and O's down here and I don't want to get all this you want to be careful with that so I'm just gonna select just these guys and I'm gonna change the color and I'm gonna do this lighter blue it's gonna be a teal color but this is what it's gonna look like on here so I'm just gonna select my board piece and I'm gonna do the same thing it was gonna go up to the black box up here and then change it to this blue and then I'm gonna do the same thing with the other two and then I'm ready to print out and show you the next step so I'm just gonna finish with these change these two colors I will cut this out on my mat I will weed it out and then I will show you the next step of how to put them on your cutting board we are almost there guys all right guys so I am finished weeding and I just did this one really quick to show you what it looks like I did my little shock glasses I think they turned out so dang cute um so one thing I forgot to mention with this is I did my svg file here's when I weeded uh mirrored I did it backwards I did that because when I put this on here I don't want the vinyls to be on top where the little glasses are gonna scratch it and take the vinyl off so I'm just gonna flip it over and put it on the back side you can tell it's the back side because it has these little feet here on the back so please make sure that you mirror this if you want it to be on the back side which again this one is um you can see this is the vinyl on the back and it is um mirrored so that's how I did it so if you want to do it that way please mirror your image so I just have a trivet or a cutting board from the dollar store I'm gonna take some alcohol and clean it really well the front and the back get all the little dirt and particles and stuff off of it so it's nice and clean for my vinyl to adhere to it and then I just wanted to show you really quick where I purchased my shock glasses so this came from amazon I love their packaging I think it was really well put together but they just have these the only thing I don't like is you have to go and peel each one of these stickers off which is a pain in the butt but um I tried looking at Dollar Tree and they didn't have any online or in any stores that I was to so I went and purchased these off of amazon I will leave the link below to these if you're interested in these or like I said you can find them at the Dollar Tree I just wasn't having any luck so um again with these you want to wash these with your alcohol as well before you put your X's and O's on it so just wanted to show you what it looked like in the packaging I bet that came out pretty cool how they sent it to you so the next part you want to do is take your vinyl I love this vinyl the only problem with this vinyl that I have ever seen or had a problem with is it doesn't have lines on it but it's a lot cheaper than any other vinyl that I had purchased I was buying a lot from the dollar store and just buying the cheap liners um but it wasn't as sticky so I changed to this kind so I'll leave the link below in case you're interested in this really wasn't that expensive so I'm just going to take it and lay it down on my file and then I'll just take my scissors just cut off the excess and then I'm just going to leave this a little flat because I like reusing my stuff so I'm going to just take my scraper scrape it on really well okay so after you have your transfer tape on your vinyl I just put that away and like I said I need to clean this I'm just going to take some alcohol again I think well this one came from Walmart but I think they saw them at the dollar store as well so then I'm just going to take my paper towel and then just clean it really well again the backside of it which I just noticed that these two do not have the bottom pieces so I'm going to see if I can pull this off that's not so good but can I have only two can I so I'm just going to scrape that and clean it really well you want to make sure you get all the blemishes or sticky parts or whatever you might have on your cutting board because your vinyl will not adhere to it so let's give it a good wash and let it dry and while it's dry you can go ahead and clean your shot glasses if you want which I said you got to give it a really good clean before you put your X's and O's on them so you want to make sure that they can stick to it really well so I'm going to let this just sit for a second kind of dry it off seems pretty good to me I saw another spot on here all right so you want to make sure it's really clean so I'm going to use still the backside because I can see that this side has a little bit of a texture to it so I'm going to use the backside as well yet just because it's nice and smooth so I'm going to take my transfer tape and I'm going to peel off my vinyl that came off nicely and then just take my plate and kind of before you lay it down you just want to make sure that everything is centered and where you want it because once you have it down it is stuck there just take your time on this part line it up really well and put it down there and then take your squeegee I call it a squeegee I don't know what you guys call it leave it below if you know what these things are called I just call this squeegee you can use a credit card if you have one here's my little dot but I just use it and push on it really hard making sure that there's no bubbles and making sure that it's going to stick to the glass I find it so once you think you've got it down just go ahead and peel it back slow making sure you don't get any pieces up I guess I really do love this transfer tape it is so much better it's more it's stickier than the dollar store stuff and it's cheaper than the cricket brand so I recommend this if you're looking for anything new and it wasn't too badly expensive one other downfall now that I'm thinking about it is it does not have a back to this so there's nowhere you can stick it so I just stick it on things that I already have laying around because I like to reuse it if it doesn't have any hair on it or anything on it so I just flip it over and leave it there so there that part is finished that was so simple right so the next part is doing your shot glasses like I said you want to make sure that your glasses are clean of debris or anything that might be on it so you just want to give it a good wash let it dry for a second I'm just going to set it there take one of my x's are always whatever you have you can use your transfer tape but for this I really don't see a point to it and then just put it on as best as you can in the middle so there is an x I'll take another one get these little stickers off and that's also another good reason why you use your alcohol before is to get all the sticky stuff off I don't know if this shows up on camera but there's a some glue there and you don't want to see that or put it on top of it so this alcohol does a really good job cleaning that there was another spot over here from the sticker I just want to make sure you get it off really well so there so I'm going to put it down again do one of my o's again if you're more comfortable using transfer tape for this you most certainly can there's just one little piece so it should go on really easy so there are the x's here are the o's and here is the finished plate I'm going to put it down maybe you can see it better the finished plate so I love how these turned out there are two of them here I still have one more to go I really hope that you like this tutorial one thing that I did notice now is I don't know if maybe Dollar Tree they don't have the same exact sizes of trivets or cutting boards because these are the same exact files and sizes but this one's going over a lot more and same for the bottom and then this one you can see there's just the same amount on each side so I don't know so be careful when you're doing your sizes um I love how this turned out I hope you did I'm going to leave a final shot of how it looks please give me a thumbs up if you like this video and ask any questions below so here is how they turned out I absolutely love them and cannot wait to
