This Instructable will show you how to make checkers using simple items that can be found around the house. This is also a good way to re-purpose items that might otherwise be thrown away. Nothing fancy, just for fun.

Items you will need:
- Glue
- A good pair of scissors (or knife)
- 24 bottle lids (I used medicine bottle lids from Walgreens)
-- one bottle lid smaller that the one being used for the checkers
- A whole bunch of used-up gift cards (or cardboard, or whatever you can think of that would work)
- Sharpies (or any permanent marker, or pen if you're using a surface that it will write on) to make cut-out markings
-- Also, I didn't have any paint that adheres well to plastic, so I simply colored my checkers with a Sharpie. Not the best looking, but it works. Use whatever you have/prefer.
- NOT PICTURED: Something to cover the bottoms of the lids with - I used vinyl (felt, duct tape, etc. would work too)
- Checkerboard (duh) (to play on when you're done)
