Introduction: Awesome Cardboard Checkers
HI guys this is my first instructables so please bear with me
Anyways to start making the checker board you will need the following tools
Step 1: Tools
1: A yard stick
2: A right angle
3: A razor blade knife
4: A compass
5: Scissors
6: A sharpie
7: A pencil
8: A razor blade
9: And an eraser
Cut a peice of cardboard into a square that is 20 1/2 inches square use the right angle to get the edges straight
Step 2: Make the Board
Next make a mark at half an inch on each side of the board and draw a line between them
Then another one at three and a half inches
Then keep going till you reach the end of the board
Turn the board 90 degrees and repeat the same steps
You should have a grid on the cardboard with a half an inch on each side like the third pic without the coloured in parts
Next colour in all avery other square so it looks like the third pic
Then add the numbers and letters as shown in the first pic (this is only needed if you play checkers with someone over the phone or email)
And you area done the board!!!!
Step 3: Checkers
Next to make the checkers use the compass to draw a circle approx 1 inch in diameter repeat twelve times
Then use the razor blade (not in the knife so be extremely careful you don't cut yourself. i put the blade in a vice and cut the cardboard around it) to cut out the circles
Step 4: Checkers
Then it should look like this
Then just sharpie in half of the twelve checkers black and you are ready to go
Step 5: Ending
So that is it hope you enjoyed this project it is a great way to recycle and makes an awesome conversation piece

What a clever use of cardboard! Sometimes I use a pumpkin carving saw to rough out shapes, and it's a lot less sharp than a razor.
Great work!
