Default Ouija Board in Progress

Had a nice sized square of particle board left over after putting the air conditioner in the window, and immediately thought "Ouija Board"!

Since the spare room upstairs will be the spirits/medium/witch room for my party, I thought it would be appropriate to have one in there. I'm also planning on making usable.

Anyhow, here are my tools:


Wood burner, pencil, masking tape, craft knife.

Here it is in progress:


The burned letters look really good. I'm taking my time (cutting out 3 letters at a time, tracing onto board, wood burning), since my hands cramp easily.

I'm trying to decide on clipart for the top. I really like the leaves, but want to put them on either side of something else:



If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I'd need clipart, as I'm not much of a drawer.

That's coming out great! I like the sun and moon clip art. Maybe a border around the edge might be good. Good choice of letters and great job burning them. It looks better than paint would.

Nope, unfortunately I'm technically challenged. One day I'll have that. But this will be a usable board for people to use at the party if they want.

The font is stonecross, but you can only use it with capital letters.

Love it! I wish I was so talented as to make it move on its own....but since I want an actual spirit board to use, this will do.

Aelwyn, BB has made a tutorial on how to make his board if interested. I used his suggestion in a Christmas prop I made about making a "sled" move around.

I'll look into as a "to do" prop for next year.
