How to make your own DIY chess

you will need a scrap piece of fabric (I had some black but any color will work)

potato or colored square stamps (depending on the color of your fabric) stones (flat, in different sizes) sharp

Let’s do it!

Let’s start with cutting the potatoes so you get a square stamp. Now start stamping on the board (the board is 8×8 in size – one white, one black…). Once you have stamped the entire board, you can make a plaque to make it clearer. Cut fabric.

Now comes the fun part! Stone paintings! We decided to use white and yellow flag shapes because it would be difficult to draw on the black ones (we don’t have white markers but if you want or want to draw on the shapes with something other than a sharpie then I think it will turn out even better!).

We gave the “farmer” characters some personality, drawing a smiley (or grumpy) face on each character. The type and queen turned out really great and so did the horse figure!
