Create a giant Jenga set with custom painted wooden blocks.
DIY Jumbo Jenga Pieces
by Jessie Daye
What you need
- 6' X 3" or 8' X 3" pine boards
- Circular saw
- Electric sander or sand paper
- Paint or paint markers (not Sharpies!)
- UV Clear Coat or Satin Finish spray
- Clamps
Directions
- Carefully trim boards to 7½" X 2½" size pieces. Use clamps to hold the wood in place as you cut or have someone hold them for you. You will need 54 pieces plus a few spares as replacements for a Jenga set. A 6 foot board will yield 8 pieces and an 8 foot board will yield 11 pieces.
- Using an electric sander or sandpaper, smooth all surfaces and round the edges of each piece.
- Spray each piece with clear coat or satin finish. Allow to dry thoroughly.
- Paint each piece as desired and allow to dry.
- Spray each piece again with the clear coat. Once dry stack in alternating sets of 3's to play.
