You can use any piece of wood for this one. Tools:Ī platform is where you will be placing the blocks. The size is completely up to you, but I suggest that you keep it below an average person's height because bigger pieces are heavier and could cause serious injuries. This DIY Giant Jenga Will Change The Way You Play The Gameįor this project, you can use 2″s x 4″s, or even some scrap wood from your previous projects. Our project involved a mix of both new and old wood, seeing as we had a couple that were leftover from our recently finished tool shed. It took us an entire weekend to get this done. I told my wife about my DIY giant Jenga project and she was ecstatic. A couple of months ago, I watched this Big Bang Theory episode where they played with giant Jenga in their living room, and I was like “Hey! I could do that!”. It's a great way to break the ice and it also keeps you thinking. Add more glue if needed.Jenga is a family game, mainly because it's what we play indoors and whenever we have guests around. Allow this to dry for about five hours, and then check to make sure everything is safely secured.Repeat for the top of the small vase and attach to the center of the smaller burner cover.Attach this to the center of the larger burner cover. Then add some E6000 (and if needed hot glue) to the bottom of the small vase.If the Jenga pieces are not fully dried, the glue will not properly secure them. Once the Jenga pieces are fully dried, add the E6000 glue to the sides of the burner covers (make sure the burner covers are on a flat surface) and attach the Jenga pieces.You can place them in the oven at 200 degrees or lower to speed the drying process. After soaking the Jenga pieces, set them out to dry.I applied 2 coats of the waverly chalk paint to each. While the Jenga pieces are soaking, using the Waverly InkĬhalk Paint or whatever black paint you have on hand, paint the insides of the oven burner covers and the small vase.

A 9x13 baking pan was able to hold all 144 Jenga pieces when I made this. The longer you let the Jenga pieces soak the stronger the coffee stain will be.

DIY JENGA MOD
If this will be used outside or you are selling it, you need to seal the wood with mod podge or shellac. It’ll look cute next to these patriotic mason jars. Using this tray outside? It would make a cute station to hold bug spray, suntan lotion, etc. A bonus to making your own is that you can vary the sizes if you want, for a completely different look! 🙂 If you have a Glowforge, this is a perfect use of scraps if your local dollar store doesn’t carry Jenga pieces – or you just want to make your own.
