6-3/4" square metal tray from Target $1 bin was shiny silver but I painted it with a dark red brush-on paint made for metal (No-Prep Metal Paint by DecoArt - $1.99 from Michael's) and then dry brushed it with white. TTT lines are made with 1/8" sticky strip/tacky tape and chunky white glitter added (gotta have some holiday sparkle!).
Holiday Sampler images are stamped in either Ruby Red (matched the red painted tray better) or Garden Green on USW. Rudolph is stamped in Close to Cocoa & Basic Brown and red glitter for nose is adhered with Crystal Effects (he's considered a "red" marble). Punched images out with 1" circle punch and ran thru Xyron to adhere to flat round clear marbles. Magnets on the back of marbles are adhered with CE.
Magnets stick really well to the metal tray, for a great travel game but tray is cute enough, with its cut-out "handles", to leave out on coffee table all Christmas season (bottom is covered with felt to protect furniture).
Players choose to be either red or green.
