Happy National Checkers Day!  I think we should all celebrate by settling into a long game of Checkers while waiting on our fried okra and baked apples at Cracker Barrel.  Or, we can make our own game of Checkers!

The past couple of years I’ve gone to the Operation Christmas Child processing center in Charlotte and I love to see what everyone packs in their boxes.  Last year I saw a cute idea for DIY Checkers that I knew I wanted to share with all of you.  In one of the boxes we found a baggie of red and black Coca-Cola bottle caps and little instructions on how to play Checkers.

I couldn’t find an exact tutorial like I saw at the OCC processing center, but I found a super cute DIY version of it.

If you’re worried about the caps in The Country Chic Cottage’s tutorial being too sharp, swap them out for plastic bottle caps.

Make your board out of Duct Tape like she suggests, or make a board using fabric to make it a little easier to store.
