How-To Make a Giant JENGA Game
Note – I purchased my paint in quarts. In retrospect, pints would have sufficed.
- Procure stain, paint or spray paint.
- Glow-on-the-dark paint could make this an even more interesting and fun game!
- Paint your block the desired color[s].
- Apply 1 or more coats to desired finish.
- If using a paint brush, brush from one end to the other to avoid leaving brush lap marks.
- Sanding between coats enhances the smoothness of the finish.
DIY Tip: Whether you are brushing of spray painting your blocks taking the time to make a spin jig will make the job smoothly.
Painting Spin Jig:
- Nail one 16 penny finish nail 1/2″ inch into each end of your block.
- Span two 2×4-8’ boards approximately 12 inches apart across a pair of saw horses.
- Place your blocks in between the 2×4 boars so the nails are resting on the boards.
- Spin your block freely to paint.
- Allow time for the blocks to thoroughly dry before stacking.
Before we start playing I decided I needed a JENGA STORAGE BOX.
