Cornhole Anyone?

We are having so much fun playing the game of Cornhole.  It’s all the rage around here in Southern Maryland.    We had our first Cornhole party last weekend and let me tell you, we had so much fun. 

A couple of weeks ago, Charlie and I bought a set of  Cornhole boards at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Because these boards are designed to use bean bags instead of the heavier corn bags, the boards didn’t hold up.  One of the legs and the middle brace broke.   

So we decided we would make our own cornhole boards.  We went to Cornhole.com and got the building plans for making the cornhole boards.   We then went to Lowes and bought the supplies we would need. 

Using the plans from Cornhole,  we cut all of our pieces. 

 

We used the jigsaw to cut the 6 “ circle .

We decided we wanted our cornhole boards to be painted the color scheme of the Washington Capitals hockey team which is, by the way, our favorite sport……..Go CAPS!   We painted them red, white and blue. 

First, I primed the boards with outside primer.   After the primer dried, I drew my design on the boards, and used FrogTape to mark the lines and then painted them.

I found the Washington Capitals Logo on-line, printed it out and used Mod Podge to put it on the boards.

I’m so happy with how they turned out.  This game is fun and addicting. 

 

You best believe we will be hosting another Cornhole party Labor Day weekend using our new Washington Caps Cornhole Boards.
