I traced the inside and outside edge of the cup on the carpet and then cut it out, starting with the outer line. To cut away the center portion of the carpet, I marked the center of the carpet square, then centered the cup over it. I used a sharp pair of scissors to cut the square out and fit it inside the frame and trimmed as needed. I measured the inside dimensions of the frame and marked those measurements on the carpet with a ruler. The bottom of the game boards are lined with outdoor carpet. To attach the bottoms to the game boards, I added a bead of wood glue to the frame and then nailed them in place with 1 1/4″ brad nails. If you choose to use any other saw for this, just be sure your cut area is smooth and even.

I used my miter saw for this, which gave me a nice, clean cut. It will make the process a whole lot easier, and prevent any splitting in the wood.įor the PVC cups, I grabbed my 2′ x 4″ PVC pipe and cut two cups at 3 1/2″ long to fit inside the game board, flush with the top. If using wood screws, make sure to drill pilot holes prior to driving the screws in.

I used my 16 ga brad nailer for this, but you can use an 18 ga or even wood screws. To assemble the frames for the game boards, I glued up the corners with DAP Weldwood Original Wood Glue and then nailed them in place with 2″ brad nails. It’s much easier to do this when the pieces are separate than when they are put together, so I try to make a habit on every project of doing this. Prior to assembly, I sanded all of the boards down. You can also use a circular saw or jigsaw to cut these pieces. To cut the bottoms of the game boards, I cut 16 x 16″ squares of 1/2″ plywood on my table saw. In that case, cut four boards to 16″ long and four boards to 13″ long to make the frames. To make this simple, you can also use 2x4s and butt joints rather than mitered joints. I went back to my miter saw and cut the boards down to 16″ long with 45 degree miters on each end. I started by cutting the 2×6 boards to a length slightly longer than I needed, then ripped them down to 3 1/2″ wide on my table saw.

We are hitting the road and camping a ton this summer to escape the heat and relax. This DIY washer toss game is a quick and easy project you can build in just a few hours. A washer toss game is a fun way to spend time with family and friends for some friendly competition.
