DIY Under $5: Dice

June 15, 2011 By Michelle Barneck 4 Comments

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!

    Those dice look great! My boys would love those, and no chance of accidentally swallowing them!
