How to Make a DIY Photo Memory Match Game

Here's how to make a DIY photo memory match game out of photos and wooden circles. It makes an awesome kids' gift, and handmade Christmas gift too!

Print photos.
You want to keep in mind the size of circles you'll be cutting out, so you want the faces in your photos to be small.
You can print wallet-sized photos so they are smaller to begin with.
Cut photos into circles using a paper punch.
Cut photos into circles using a paper punch.
Seal with clear acrylic sealer.
The downside to using Mod Podge is that it can cause things to stick together.
A solution I read about online is to spray them with Clear Acrylic Sealer. This stops them from being tacky and sticking together.
Put dry circles in a drawstring bag and you're done!
To hold the game for my nieces, I used gold fabric paint and wrote "Match" on the front of a drawstring bag.
I also painted gold polka dots on the front and back of the bag to make it fun.

You can use scissors to cut out the circles if you don't have a circle paper punch. Use a small circular object of the appropriate size to help trace uniform circles and cut as precisely as you can.
If you don't have a drawstring bag you can sew a cute zippered pouch.
You can make different variations of this match game too - try colored paper, pictures of animals, patterned wrapping paper, or even use it in a homeschool to teach types of leaves, types of clouds, or other topic of learning.
