There’s nothing better than a warm day at the beach, hanging out and relaxing with family and friends. Well, with today’s how-to, you can add a little of that feeling into your home: a coastal-style tic-tac-toe board and serving tray.
With this crafty and multi-purpose DIY project, you’ll be able to offer guests a simple, conversation-friendly game with whimsical, resin* starfish “X’s” and sand dollars “O’s” or, on the flip side, a nautical-inspired tray to serve whatever suits your culinary or mixological fancy!
