I set up the roll holder on the Maker 3 and loaded the roll into the roll holder and fed it into the Cricut machine. Since we are making really long cuts, I am using the 21ft rolls of the Smart Vinyl. Once I was happy with the design, I hit “make it” and selected the appropriate material. The designs for each color are 41.25″ and 50.75″ in length each. I have seen many boards for drinking games, but I wanted something that would be a little more kid-friendly.
I decided to go with cheeky quotes to make the game a little more fun.
I designed the cornhole boards in Cricut Design Space. I used the new Permanent Smart Vinyl, which is available in black and white in up to 21ft length. The new Cricut Maker 3 is a great machine to help cut and make large custom graphics to the cornhole boards.

How to customize cornhole boards with a Cricut
Add custom quotes/graphics using a Cricut Machine (details below). I painted the boards black and white and stained the legs. Fill all holes with wood filler and prime and paint. Once you have one leg, it is easy to repeat and duplicate for all four legs. I found that the angle on my legs was a 25-degree angle. Move the cornhole board such that you can determine the exact location and angle where the leg needs to be cut. To ensure this is the case, prop up the board on your work surface so that the top of the board is 12″ from the tabletop. Per the regulation, the top edge of the board should be 12″ from the surface. Attach with the carriage bolt and wing nuts. Once clamped, drill a hole with a ⅜″ drill bit from the inside of the leg all the way through the side. Place the leg inside the frame and clamp it. Using a compass, draw a semi-circle at the top with a radius of 1-¼″ and cut it off using a jigsaw. The top of the legs need to be rounded out so it can be folded without hitting the frame. Attach the plywood to the frames using the finish screws on all sides.īuilding the legs is probably the hardest part of this project. Learn all about using the jigsaw and getting the best cuts. You can also use a hole saw for this instead. The size of the hole per regulations is 6″ in diameter. I drew a circle using a compass and cut out the hole using a jigsaw. Plus, the price is not all that different. It may be a great choice if you want to whip one up really quickly and don’t want to worry about drawing and cutting circles. 
In fact, pre-cut cornhole plywood boards are also available for purchase. I bought the pre-cut 2×4 plywood directly from the store. You can most definitely also use a Kreg Jig for this. The screw head is tiny, like a finish nail, but since it screws in, it also has great hold! Plus, they are self-tapping – eliminating the need for pre-drilling. I have fallen in love with these finish screws. Since I am using 1×3 boards and ¼″ plywood, I added a couple of extra 1×3 boards in the middle of the frame for added support.
Using 1-¼″ finish screws and wood glue, build the frame for the cornhole board as shown below. The cuts are to build a 2′ x 4′ regulation size corn hole board. Make the cuts per the cut list in the plans. How to build the cornhole boards Step 1 – Build the frame ⅜″ washer, wing nut, and carriage bolts. Cricut Maker 3 – it helps make the large cuts. I wanted something that would be lightweight – easy to take out and put away as needed and wasn’t a workout every time we wanted to set it up. That is ok if you are going to leave them out or only put them away seasonally. Lightweight corn hole boardsĬornhole boards are typically built using 2x4s and ¾” plywood, making them pretty heavy. They recommend only wooden cornhole boards for tournaments as there is significant variance in play between wooden, plastic, and other surfaces. “ Each cornhole board shall be 47.5 to 48 inches in length and 23.5 to 24 inches wide, made of smooth plywood that measures at least ½-inch in thickness.” Plus, of course, they have all the details of the rules for corn hole tournaments.įor the Corn hole boards themselves, here is what they say – Did you know that there is an entire association dedicated to all things corn hole board games? The American Corn Hole Board Association has regulations and rules on the size, setup, and style of regulation cornhole boards.
