Personal Game Board Pieces

This is great for any board game in which you play a small piece.  Candy Land, Monopoly, etc.  Take one of those binder clips (find the size you need either before or after printing) and clip it to the bottom of a picture you printed out of yourself, your family, your friends, or just characters off the internet.  Place boxing tape (clear) over top the front and back before cutting them out to keep them straight and sturdy.  After you have the clip on the picture you can either lift the two sides that you squeeze to open them in order to hold the picture or you can take them off.  They are very easy to take off and put back on.  I did this while I was at work, so I don't have step by step photos.  Make sure you don't print the pictures too large.  You don't want them to fall over, and you do want them to fit in the game spaces on the board.  I printed pictures of my family regular, in costume, as zombies in Candy Land (Zombieland) and all the Lego Batman characters.  My son loves Lego Batman, so I figured he would love being those characters.  The kids played Robin and the Riddler today.  Here are pictures of the VERY EASY finished project.
