Instructions
Step 1
How to make handmade chess? There is nothing easier: you can make a chessboard using a lot of techniques: decoupage, painting, applique, embroidery, knitting, etc. If you know how to embroider, for example, with a cross, then you do not even need to line the fabric into squares, embroider the checkerboard along the squares of the canvas.
Step 2
Sew monochrome squares instead of solid dark squares. If the gift is intended for an adult, traditional dark tones are appropriate: black, brown, gray. If the gift is intended for a young chess player, you can make colored embroidery.
Step 3
After you finish embroidering, arrange the chess set under glass in a square photo frame. If the store cannot find a frame of the correct size or shape, contact a framing workshop.
Step 4
Similarly, you can make handmade chess using other techniques, for example, decoupage, which is very popular today.
Step 5
Stick squares cut from decoupage napkins or cards on a wooden base and cover with decoupage varnish. The second coat of varnish will increase the durability of such chess pieces.
In any case, handmade chess will be distinguished by originality and uniqueness at a very low cost.
