New Hybrid Project


I was so excited about this project! My MIL got my kids started playing YAHTZEE a while back. I started looking at it and thought, that's just dice and score sheets - so I made one!

I used an empty canister (I have tons of them, they are from "shakes" that we drink in the morning, so we go through tons and I hate to throw them away!), created a layout to fit the front of the canister (for my game I used The Party Animal from Faith True and the Grateful4U Collab from many designers in the digi scrap world - thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I printed my layout onto "sticker" paper and adhered to canister and then spray sealed. I found both instructions and score sheets for the game, I reduced both to fit inside my canister and chopped pencils in half to keep with the game also. I found dice for $1 at Dollar Tree - SCORE - and also bought the little kid snack cups with lids there! That's it...so I spent less than 5 bucks for a game that we'll use over and over AND it's very portable. I also thought, this type of canister would be great for a "beauty kit" for someone's birthday, or art supplies for a little one...what are your ideas? Show me...link me up to your gallery!

This is an awesome idea. I loved playing Yatzhee when I was a teen with my family. Just need to teach my young ones now how to play. Thanks for the idea.
