Tuesday Tutorial – DIY Pac-Man Game

I took a break from all the St. Patrick’s Day/Easter crafting crazy for a Kit-Kat break. More like a Pac-Man break. There is no other video game I am master of than Pac-Man.

When Kelly of Studio DIY made her conversation heart rings with hot glue and a silicone mold, I said to myself, “Self, you have a ridiculous amount of molds…why don’t you make some hot-glue fun too?” Then the wheels started turning, and I thought, why not create a 3-D version of my favorite game?
What You’ll Need:
Pac-Man ice cube tray
hot glue gun
nail polish
white paint pen
black permanent marker
So, I’m not going to reinvent the wheel; Kelly did a great job outlining the directions to make the hot-glue shapes and painting them with nail polish.
After they dried, I used a white paint pen and black marker to color in the eye details on the ghosts. Seriously cute, right? You can totally make them funky rings as well, to match your rockin’ 80’s party ensemble. Or…
