DIY Pumpkin Tic Tac Toe Board- materials

Directions: 

1. Begin by applying two coats of black paint to the wood board. Allow the paint to dry well between coats for best coverage.

2. Once the paint is dry, you can start applying the pipe cleaners to help make your grid. We simply ran the pipe cleaners from one end of the board to the other and bent it over the edges. Use a dab of hot glue to press the end into place and secure it.

3. Continue this process so that you have two pipe cleaners running in each direction of the board. This will create your nine space grid.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
