Played a game of Cornhole at a kids birthday party, figured I could make my own set. Got the decal and bags off Etsy and the light rings off Amazon.

Looks pretty good man. I like the light ring around the hole, nice touch.

Anyone know why the pictures get turned sideways? It does this in Amazon mobile too.

Looks good dude, been thinking about making a set of Chicago Blackhawk boards, I like the lights in the hole.

Real slick man, what did you use for the lights?

Thanks guys, believe it or not they make lights for these boards, powered by 2-AA’s. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OWC99Q8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used this instructables as a guide for my boards.

Pretty cool on the lighted hole!

Very cool, I was thinking about doing a set for my Nephew. He played it at school and really liked it so his parents bought a set for his birthday but they’re tiny. He’s only 6 so I’m not really sure how big to make it, plus they live in a townhouse so storage space is limited. I like the lights a lot, never seen that before! I wonder how difficult it would be to do a panel under the hole that has some sort of pressure switch that changes the light when it hits, then it would light when someone scores.

That’s a great idea, or maybe a motion sensor in the hole?

That would be sweet, I imagine of you could find some type of finger switch it would

be easy
