Board Designs and Templates

The face of a Cornhole Board can reflect a persons interests. A common theme is sports teams, but any desings can be used. Below are some examples, with some detailed instructions on how to make a great design on your boards.

Before painting your boards, it's recommended you use a base primer of white paint with water/mildew resistant properties. These products will help you keep your board from getting water logged from playing in the grass, protect it from the elements and also make the main colors you paint on your boards look better.

Construction Paper Template

This method utilizes a few heavy sheets of contstruction paper, a sharp blade and a logo obtained from the world wide web. Print out your favorite logo on a regular sheet of paper, than tape it to the sheets of contruction paper. After the sheets are combined, use the blade to cut out the logo out forming a template. You can than spraypaint the logo using the template onto the board.

Transparency/Projector

If you have the ability to use an overhead projector or regular projector to draw or sketch your logo or design, it is a great way for complicated objects to be rendered on your board. For an overhead projector, take a design from the world wide web and make a transparency of it using clear transparency sheets. Use the overhead projector to project the image onto the face of the board and simply sketch the logo or design. A conventional style projector can be used simply by rigging the projector to a computer, finding the logo or design on the world wide web, projection the image straight from the source, and sketching the logo or design directly.

Hand Drawn/Simple Designs

It is easy to render a hand drawn design if you are relatively good at drawing. Simple designs (examples below) can also be drawn by using regular painters tape and a few different colors of paint.
