How to make BIG vintage dominoes.

by on Dec 18, 2009

Six Domino's made of wood are mounted on a wall.

How I DIY cleverly turned some chunks of wood into vintage dominoes. The procedure sounds simple enough–and CHEAP too, especially if you have some of the supplies on hand.

Here’s what should be on your supplies list:

  • a chunk of 2″ x 10″ lumber (the dominoes in the picture above are 16″ long, so plan your purchase accordingly, depending upon how many dominoes you want to make)
  • cream and black satin paint, the maker used Behr Cozy cottage Satin and Behr Forever Black Satin
  • Minwax Red Mahogany stain
  • Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze
  • a circle stencil, either hand cut or made with a paper punch or Cricut
  • electrical tape
  • saw tooth hangers

Here’s the tools you’ll need:

  • table saw, or something with which to cut the planks
  • electric sander & 80 grit sand paper
  • sanding block
  • paint brush(es)
  • hammer
