Cornhole Scoreboard OverviewThis whitepaper (manual) is for making a cornhole scoreboard. The scoreboard will have black numbers on each side of the plastic score face. The center will have a black background with the word "cornhole" spelled in white. The scorecard will be attached to a white plastic pole with a metal spike for mounting in the ground. Lastly, the scoreboard will have two plastic cup holders mounted on top of the pole. Below is an image of the finished scoreboard.
Materials and CostThe cost of this project was $25.11 per set, or $12.56 per scoreboard. By shopping around and eliminating the black center (Paint Marker), the cost can be substantially lowered. Also, the cost of the masking tape and screw packs should technically be spread over 20-plus scoreboards. The supplies were purchased from three stores - TSC, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart. 1 - Create-A-Sign 14" x 18" Corrugated Sign With Frame (TSC, $3.98). 1 - Step-In Poly Fence Post, 48" (TSC, $2.49). 1 - The Paper Studio White Alphabet Sticker Package (Hobby Lobby, $2.99). 1 - The Paper Studio Black Numeric Sticker Package (Hobby Lobby, $2.99). 1 - DecoColor Black Acrylic Paint Marker (Hobby Lobby, $4.47). 1 - 4-pack of Bell Drink Holders (Walmart, $1.96). 1 - Roll of Masking Tape (optional, Walmart, $0.77). 1 - Value Pack of Screws (Walmart, $2.97). Building The Cornhole ScoreboardStep 1 - Cut The Plastic Sign Into Two PiecesTo begin making our scoreboard, unwrap the corrugated plastic sign and discard the metal post that comes with it (or save for a later project). The width of the sign measures 14". Measure 7" across the bottom, middle, and top and make a mark with a pencil. Next, use a yardstick or ruler to connect the three marks. Once the line is penciled in, use a razorblade or pair of scissors and cut the plastic sign in half. You should now have two plastic scorecards measuring 7"x18", as shown in the below picture. Step 2 - Tape The Plastic For ColoringMeasure 2" in from each side of the vinyl (2" and 5"). Do this four times up the vertical of the vinyl on each side. Next, connect the dots using a yardstick and a pencil. Apply masking tape along the two lines. Use 2 or 3 layers or painter's tape to ensure the paint won't bleed through the tape. Step 3 - Color The Middle And Remove TapeUse the paint marker and paint inside the tape. When finished, remove the tape. Apply as many coatings as needed. Step 4 - Spell "Cornhole" In The Middle Using White DecalsSpell "Cornhole" down the black middle of the scorecard. Use the white letter decals listed above. Step 5 - Apply Black Numbers To Each Side of ScoreboardApply the black number decals (0 - 21) on each white side of the vinyl scorecard. Step 6 - Break The Ends Off The Cup HoldersBreak off the lips of the cup holders so they will fit together on the top of the post. Step 7 - Put Screws In The Cup Holders and ScorecardApply 4 screws to the scoreboard. Two in the face of the scorecard and two on top of the post to hold the cup holders. DONEYour cornhole scoreboard is complete. Stick it in the ground, grab some drinks, and have fun!
