This year for Christmas, our family has put a special importance on making gifts. My kids are finally old enough to do real projects and it’s been some great family time, and I hope memories that will last.
I needed a quick last minute project we could do for some friends of theirs. As we brainstormed our options, we decided that a game would be a good idea. We love playing games as a family, and so do our friends. We decided that tic tac toe would be a great idea. We made our list and headed to Craft Warehouse to pick up what we didn’t already have in my stash: a tin (gift card holder) and small round magnets. We pulled twine, buttons and glue dots from my stash.
No photo directions today because it’s really pretty easy.
Cut 1/4” strips of paper and adhere to inside of tin. (You can use the outside if you prefer).
Thread and tie buttons.
Using a glue dot, adhere magnet to button. (if you use other flat elements or don’t floss the buttons, the adhesive on the magnet by itself is sufficient).
Wrap and give 
Thanks for joining me today! Have a Merry Christmas.

Very cute!
Cute idea! A perfect stocking stuffer. I think you could also use those buttons and container for a game called Nim or Poison- you have 10 buttons and take turns with a partner. You can choose to take away one, two, or three buttons. The object is to not be the person who takes the last button.
My mom made a bunch of little tin games like this one year for all the grandkids, they loved it!!!
