Signing UpStep 1Making the board
I located a simple chess board vector graphic and formated it to the appropriated size.
Given that I already knew what kind of velcro tape I had available I resized it to fit with that one.
If you buy everything from scratch I am sure you will see more possibilities.
Also I wanted it small and light so I could easily carry it along in my bag.
Then I taped it on to the felt and started working row by row.
Cutting & Colouring
I used black felt so I had to cut and colour the white field of my board.

I think I'll use velcro in some travel games versions. ^^
But I think... It was my idea... instead of magnetism... which is quite commen with travel-games. And of course I had it in the house ;)
Sry, for my reply delay but I have so many online-existences, sometimes it is hard to keep track of them all.
