Sea Glass Tic Tac Toe

Birthday making for Maria is hotting up, a few bits and pieces underway this week, but just a flying post to catch up on a small birthday finish from last week.

I've seen quite a few fabric tic tac toe bags dotted around Pinterest recently, and have been wanting to get round to making one. The happy combination of a birthday coming up and a need to find ways to make use of a much too large collection of sea glass made it happen (and yes, I know, too large is impossible really when it comes to a sea glass collection!).

Just some ribbon/trim sewn onto a simple, lined drawstring bag

The ones I've seen have generally had buttons or pieces of fabric as the 'counters', but I think the sea glass works perfectly.


And then it just stores away easily.


I think Maria will appreciate this one. And thinking ahead, Venetia loves checkers - that would use even more of the sea glass!

  5. Happy birthday to Maria! What a lovely gift idea. The sea glass is so pretty, and the bag is a perfect way to stow the pieces.

  8. Brilliant idea, Sally!!! Now on my 'To Do' list, although I won't be able to use pretty sea glass. We call the game naughts and crosses in Australia.
