Ring around

The game of quoits (also known as ring toss) has been entertaining families since medieval times when it was played with horseshoes.

You will need:

• 9 clean, empty glass bottles
• Resene testpots in your choice of Resene colours
• Paintbrushes
• Rope
• Hi-tack tape, such as gaffer tape
• Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer
• Crate to store the bottles

Step 1. Prime the bottles using Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer and leave to dry.

Step 2. Paint the bottles in various colours using Resene testpots.

Step 3. Cut the rope to 160mm and tape ends together to create a ring. Repeat until you’ve made at least 10 rings.

Step 4. Paint the rings with Resene testpots and leave them to dry. Complete the game by giving the crate a lick of paint.

You’re ready to play!
