This DIY Tic-Tac-Toe travel game bag is easy to make! The outside of the bag forms the game board and the bag holds the game pieces.

Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag- Kids will have fun passing time with this homemade travel game bag. It is a cute and simple way to take tic-tac-toe on the go!

I love to create fun and sweet little activities for the kids, or for them to give as homemade gifts to their friends. This DIY Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag is simple enough that the kids can have fun being involved in crafting it from start to finish.  When its complete, they have a cute travel game to enjoy well. Homemade just feels more thought out and this game bag is definitely much cuter than scratching out a game of tic-tac-toe with a scrap of paper! I picked my muslin bags up in a dollar bin but I found a dozen for a great price on Amazon as well if you want to make a whole batch.

DIY Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag

Materials:

  • muslin drawstring bag
  • fabric tape
  • 8-10 buttons in two different colors.

Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag- materials

Instructions:

  1. Cut your fabric tape  about 1/2″ shorter than the length and width of your muslin bag to make the tic tac toe board.  Peel off backing and press onto bag adhesive side down. Mix up your fabrics to make it more whimsical.  I trimmed mine after applying it to the bag but before ironing.Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag applying tape
  2. Different brands of fabric tape stick better than others. Some need a little extra adhesive like fabric glue and some will adhere well with a bit of heat and pressure from the iron.  I covered my bag with a thin cloth and pressed the iron down for 25-30 seconds.Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag ironing
  3. Once your bag has cooled or the glue has set, put your buttons inside the bag and draw tight.

You now have a cute little travel tic-tac-toe game. These are great for waiting at restaurants or doctors offices!Tic-Tac-Toe Travel Game Bag final

    I love this! I wonder if you could make an internal pocket, slide in a thin piece of metal and glue a magnet to the back of each button? That would make it perfect for traveling!

    Where can you find fabric tape? I can’t find anything but decorative masking tape or mending tape.

      Bias binding or make your own. Just cut some strips of material you like hem them and sew them on. Hope that helps.

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.
