Fabric and Button Tic-Tac-Toe Game - finished game pouch with two markers on board Here's a simple little version of the popular game of tic tac toe, also known as noughts and crosses. Of course you can always play this at any time with just a pen and paper, but this pocket game is pretty and fun to carry around. I have used floral fabric. For a boy use plain colours or a more geometric design.

If you have never played before, it is an easy game that even young children can master. You need two players. One player is noughts and the other is crosses. Draw four lines crossing, two horizontally and two vertically. Take turns to draw symbols in the spaces (noughts or crosses) The first person to get three in a row, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, wins.

For the game featured here, you use the different coloured buttons in place of the written symbols

Supplies:

2 small squares of fabric
10 buttons in 2 colours
sewing thread
sewing needle
embroidery thread
large eyed embroidery needle
scissors

Steps:

Fold one square of fabric into thirds and mark the folds with a crease at each end.

Use the creases to guide you to sew 2 lines of back stitch using your embroidery needle and floss. Use all six strands of the floss. Alternatively you could glue narrow ribbon or cord in place.
