\"8x9<\/a>
8×9 inch wooden dice tray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve been looking to make my own dice tray for our Tabletop Game Nights and I finally found the perfect box. This wooden box is about 8 by 9 inches and it was dirt cheap from Daiso. If you’re familiar with Daiso you’ll know that nearly everything in the store is priced at $1.50. I also bought the green felt from Daiso for another $1.50 but it was way more felt than I needed. So overall I spent about $3\u00a0for what I’ve seen on Etsy.com go for $15 or more.<\/p>\n


\nI’ve seen some How-To Guides stating you can use picture frames from Ikea but I think the ridges would be too low. The ridges on this box are about 1.5 inches. The dice rarely bounce out of this box.<\/p>\n

You could also stain or lacquer the box for a more professional look.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n
\"8x9<\/a>
8×9 inch wooden box from Daiso.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1.<\/strong> Purchase a wooden box from Daiso. I found it near the back of the store where the rest of the containers are. Purchase felt from Daiso or any craft store.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"Trace<\/a>
Trace the box onto felt. I used pencil for this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2.<\/strong> Trace the shape of the box onto the felt. I used a pencil to trace the box. You could also measure the interior of the box and trace that onto the felt but I felt the box wasn’t necessarily equal on each side.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"The<\/a>
The borders of box are about a quarter of an inch thick. Trim it down slowly until it fits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3.<\/strong> Remove the box and cut out the felt. The borders of the box are about 1\/2 an inch thick. Slowly trim down the sides of the felt until you have a good fit. This is probably the most tedious part.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"Glue<\/a>
Glue the felt down. Get ready to feel like a boss when playing Descent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4. Glue the felt to the bottom of the box. You can use regular white glue, just make sure to spread it evenly and don’t leave any puddles. Wait for a reasonable amount of time for the glue to dry. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
