Intro: Foldable Pocket-Sized Cornhole Game

Hi everyone!  Have you ever gotten bored in the middle of class, or maybe during a meeting?  Well now there's a solution!  Behold!  With this easily portable foldable cornhole game, you can take the fun of cornhole with you anywhere in your pocket.  It can fold into a suitcase and fold back out into a cornhole board. It takes little material and about 15-25 min to make.

STEP 1: Tools and Materials

First, gather your tools and materials:

Tools:
-Scissors
-Pencil/Pen
-Ruler
-Hot Glue Gun
-Compass

Materials:
-Some spare cardboad
-tape (I used electrical, but scotch tape will work just as well)
-Hot glue

Misc.:
-Airsoft BBs (for the "beanbags"

STEP 2: The Top Board

First, just draw out two 6" by 3" rectangles.  Cut them out.  Mark a line 1.25" from the top and then mark another line in the middle (thats 1.5" from each side).  Get your compass out and make the length between the tip and the pencil 0.5" so it will make a 1" (diameter) circle.  Draw your 1" circle centered on the intersection of the lines you made.  Cut the circle out (an exacto knife would work a lot better than the scissors i used).  Lastly, mark a line in the center of the rectangle so you have two 3" squares.  Go ahead and cut the rectangle apart.

STEP 3: The Sides

Start by marking lines so you make sixteen 0.5" by 3" rectangles.  Cut these out.  Start hot gluing them onto the sides of your top board pieces.  Glue them to all four sides of both pieces as shown in the pictures.

STEP 4: Legs

First mark a 3" by 1"rectangle.  Cut that out and then cut it in half "hamburger style".  These two pieces will be your legs.

STEP 5: Handles

This step is optional.  the handles just give it a suitcase look and make it easier to hold sometimes.
First cut out two pieces that are 1" by 0.5".  Then just cut one side out.

STEP 6: Assembly

Just follow the steps on the pictures.

Simple Way:

Get a piece of plywood or other wood, and cut two pieces, one for the part that the bags hit, one for the stand part. Then attach them with a hinge. Drill a hole in the desired area. Using a drill would make a smoother hole, but you could use something else. Sand the outside of the hole, around the hole, and the edges/ corners of the boards. Make two, with the same exact dimensions. When folded up with the hinge, the two corn hole boards will slip together, and can be kept together with a rubber band. Sacks can be anything you want that fits in the hole easily. You can even use paper wads for this easy corn hole game. The boards should fit in your pocket, but you can make the boards a bit bigger if you won't be carrying them around.
