Ring Toss!

Who doesn't love random yard games!  We are lucky that our venue already had several that we could borrow but we decided that we wanted a few more to add to the fun during the cocktail hour and for those who want a break from the dance party.  After searching on pintrest and drinking lots of wine, we made a ring toss game.  I know, so hard to try and make this that we had to drink 12 bottles of wine.

I wanted to use things that we already had or if we had to buy, would use again.  So 12 bottles of wine were easy for the something we already had.  I purchased and stained a milk crate that we bought from Lowes for about $10. Spray painted the wine bottles in gold glitter.  Bought and wrapped 12- 3" rings.

Supplies:

• 12 wine bottles (you could always use pop bottles if you want smaller bottles)
• 1 milk crate
• 12- 3" rings
• scrap fabric
• spray paint
• stain for crate

Directions for bottles

1. Drink enough wine for the number of bottles you need.  We needed 17 so that was fun. ☺

2. Spray paint the bottles in a fun color. We used gold glitter and were sure to be outside.  When we looked from our window outside, it looked like we had gold in the yard for a couple of weeks.  

Directions for crate:
1. We bought a pre-made milk crate for about $10 at our local hardware store. I have seen them at several craft stores as well. I do not suggest making your own for the level of detail that you can get vs the price on the pre-made crates.
2. Stain the color of your choice.  As with staining anything, you will want to apply the stain in thin coats and wipe off the extra stain between applications. I have found typically 2 coats of stain gets me the color of wood that I want.  As you can see, my fiance at least pretended he was enjoying what he was doing.

Directions for rings:

1. Cut the fabric scraps into about 1" wide strips and long enough to cover the whole ring.  

2. Adhere the fabric to the ring; I used a glue gun but really any type of adhesive should work perfectly.   

After all said and done, the ring toss turned out pretty good. I think everyone enjoyed playing at the wedding and we now have a yard game for the house.
