For those who still carry around a ton of change (I’m one of you!), make yourself a great coin purse using an old milk carton! Be sure to rinse out first, though.

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut
You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.
It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.
I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.
What I Love About This Project:
It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.
You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.
It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).
And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.
If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
I have made coin purses out of 1/2 gallon milk cartons and they are very useful plus being ‘cute’!! We had a class to learn how to make them.Walmart has all kinds of duct tape that have various designs as well as solid colors to cover the carton with. So neat!
