Step 2:

Take both of the bigger rectangles. Measure and cut a hole 1.5” away from the top. The hole should be 1” in diameter.

Step 3:

On each of the smaller rectangles, measure 2” in from each short end. Cut a 1/2” vertical slit, creating a flap.

Step 4:

Bend the flap down and cut a 1” horizontal slit at the bottom of the flap on each side.

Step 5:

Slide the bigger cardboard into slits. These are your cornhole boards!
