Build a Dice Tower

12/31/2018

 
Picture
Do you have someone in your life who loves Tabletop gaming?  If so, they may be very interested in having a dice tower.
Picture
My sons love to play Dungeons and Dragons. I am telling on my age a little when I say I remember D&D from my childhood. It has stood the test of time and is just as popular today.
Picture
My husband and I wanted to make something for our boys that would be useful and help them enjoy their campaigns.  We made a trip to Hobby Lobby and walked around until we found some unfinished wooden items we thought would work.
Picture
This little fairy door started it off. Doesn't it look like a castle door?  The addition of paint and other embellishments made it look like the entry point for players.
Picture
This tray served as a great base for rolling the dice into.
Picture
This wooden tissue holder was the perfect size. When you stand it up on one end, the base slides off. This made the entire back open and available to add the interior baffels. On the other side where the tissue hole was, we cut open a space for the dice to exit and then added a piece of balsa wood to make it look neat.
Picture
Spray paint made everything one color and felt helps muffle the dice sounds. A dragon added to the tower with a few stones really sets a great gaming mood.

We made a couple of characters out of the extra wooden pieces.

We used Modge podge and some printed pictures to fill in the sides. This makes it seem like you are looking through the tower.
Picture
We did a short youtube video with some more pictures of our process. You can view it below.  Altogether we spent around $50.00 on the supplies. We did have some of the paint and glue already.  A Dremel tool was really all we used to do the wood cuts.  The items were very soft wood.

I hope you enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
