Square note paper
Scissors
Paper glue stick
Pen or markers
Light cardboard or very sturdy paper

Fold 3 square note papers in half vertically and again horizontally to divide them into ¼’s
Cut along the crease lines

Hold a cut square diagonally
Bring the right point over to the left point and pinch it on the middle of the fold

Bring the right bottom point up to the top point

Cut off a tiny bit of the point

Result
Make 6
And make one extra. It will be used for measuring later.

Take a new uncut square of paper.
Cut 18 thin strips slightly thinner than ¼ inch

Glue 2 strips together.
Make 9

Make a ring with the strip. Use the cut square as a guide to how large it should be.
Wrap and glue the rest of the strip around the ring

Make 9 rings

You will need 2 full squares and 7 squares ¼ of the height shorter.

Roll paper up on a thin pen or marker
Glue the end down

Mark the ½ way mark on the 2 long rolls
Mark the same height on the shorter rolls

Check to see if the rolls fit through the holes in the small squares you made in step 5
If they don’t fit use a pen to make the holes larger

Take a strip 1 inch wide and fold it in half length wise
Make cuts up to the crease
Make 2 of these

Take the 2 longer rolled up papers
Fold the strip in half again
With the fringe on the outside, align and glue the folded edge along the pen marks.
When the glue has dried open the fold.

Take the 7 smaller rolls. Flatten and make a slit on the short side of the pen mark.
Slit each half in half again up to the pen mark.
Fold the cuts up along the pen marks

Write the number 1 – 9 on the small square with the holes

Align the extra square to the corner of the cardboard
mark the center.
Pierce a hole with a pen point. Make the hole big enough for a paper roll to go through.

Push a long roll through the hole in the cardboard. Slide number 1 onto the roll and glue it down.

Push a short roll through number 2. Glue the fringe to the back of the paper. Glue number 2 next to number 1 on the cardboard

Place the extra small square next to number 2, mark the center and make a hole as you did in step 18
Push a long roll through the hole in the cardboard. Slide number 3 onto the roll and glue it down

Glue number 4 -9 the same way you did number 3.
Cut the cardboard along the outside edge of the numbers
And your desktop pegboard game is ready for play.
Enjoy!
