DIY Under $5: Dice

I am in the process of re-decorating our game/playroom. You saw my giant dominos and what better way to complete the set than with some larger than life dice to go along!



Dice


I found these foam dice a while back and loved that they were huge, but they were not exactly the bold color I needed for my new scheme.



I enhanced the white dots with my craft paint, mod podged over each size to seal the foam and added garage sale dot stickers for the numbers.



Then, I pulled out my new secret weapon Krylon Dual Paint (paint and primer in one) in Semi-gloss Cherry Red and gave each side of the dice a few coats until it was the color I wanted.



Now my great big dice are happy red and ready to style up our game room.



Aren't they so fun next to the little dice?



Total cost:
Dice: $2.50
Paint: free for a review (you'll see more of it soon)
Craft paint, mod podge, stickers: on hand

Now it's time to link up your $5 projects!

Please remember:
  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand)
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time
  • No giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!
