Instructions
Drill holes on both sides of the 12-inch long piece of wood. Make the holes 1 inch in from the ends. Be careful not to penetrate through to the other side. The holes should be just slightly larger than the diameter of the pegs you are using, so the pegs will slide in and fit snuggly. Now drill a similar hole in the center of this piece of wood.
Drill a hole 1 inch from the end on a piece of 5-1/2-inch wood. Do the same for the other piece of wood this size.
Use the center hole on the 12-inch piece of wood as your guide, and glue the two smaller pieces of wood to each side. You should now have an X shape, along with five visible holes.
Construct a base for the ring toss by making an X shape with the 12 1/2-inch piece of wood and the 6-inch pieces of wood. This X will not need any holes drilled into it. Glue the smaller X (with the holes) on top of this base. This will make the game stronger and able to stand when the rings are thrown.
Paint the base any color you like using acrylic paints. Also paint the pegs at this time. You can use the same color as the base or choose different colors for the pegs. Once the paint has completely dried, pour some glue into the holes, and secure a peg in each hole. Let this dry completely before using.
Cut three 6-inch pieces of rope from the 18-inch strand you have. Take one piece of rope and place it into a lighted candle for a few seconds. This will keep the rope from fraying. Make a circle from the rope by joining the two end pieces together, and secure with duct tape. Do this same process for the two remaining strands of rope.
