Materials Needed
- A smooth, flat surface board (wood or cardboard)
- A marker or a paintbrush
- A cup or a planchette
- Ruler or tape measure
- Alphabet stickers or markers
- Numbers 0-9 stickers or markers
Step 1: Prepare Your Board
Start by selecting a smooth, flat surface board as your base. You can use a sturdy piece of wood or even cut out a large square from a thick cardboard box. Ensure your board is large enough to fit all of your desired elements comfortably.
Step 2: Mark the Board
Using a marker or paintbrush, create a border around the edges of the board. This will give it a clear boundary. Next, use a ruler or tape measure to divide the board into equal sections. Add horizontal and vertical lines to create a grid-like pattern on the board.
Step 3: Add Letters and Numbers
Now it’s time to add the letters of the alphabet and the numbers 0-9 to your board. You can either use alphabet stickers or carefully write them with a marker. Place the letters and numbers evenly within each square of the grid pattern. Ensure they are clear and easy to read.
Step 4: Create a Planchette
A planchette is the device used to maneuver around the Ouija board. Take a small cup or any other flat object like a circular piece of cardboard or wood. Decorate it as desired. You can paint symbols or place decorations on it. Just make sure it can easily slide across the board.
Step 5: Charge and Cleanse
Once your Ouija board is complete and dried, it’s a good idea to cleanse and charge the board. Some people believe this step helps remove any negative energies and enhances the connection with the spirit world. Use your preferred method of energy cleansing, such as smudging or visualization, before using the board.
