Squid Game! What a TV Show... :)

I was invited to the Game 😀, to make this Instructable. In this Instructable I will show you how did I made a wooden Squid Game Business Invitation Card.

From time to time I like to make a project for fun and practicing with new materials and tools, so after I finished watching this TV Show full season in 4 days, the Idea came up to make this project and also a short Squid Game scene of my own 😀😀 (on the 60 sec video)

In case you missed - Last time I made an Instructable for Money Heist TV Show.

This project can be made as a prop for a Squid Game costume.

The Invitation Card

In case you didn't see the TV show, people are being invited to participate in the "Squid Game", with a business card.

  1. On the front side of the card, there are 3 shapes - Circle, Triangle, Square (from left to right). I made these shapes on my Wooden card. I made each shape with a height of about 3 cm.
  2. On the back side of the card, originally there is a phone number. I made something different in my card's back side, which is more relevant to my YouTube Channel :)

Making the Circle - Plastic

For the circle, I used a plastic board, which I removed from an old Led Panel lamp.

I used the dremel Circle Cutter accessory to cut a small circle from the board. (I put another wood board over the plastic board while cutting, since the plastic was very thin).

After sanding the circle a bit, I painted it with a gold spray color.

Making the Triangle - Metal

For the triangle , I used a metal piece.

I used my angle grinder to cut the shape and later, sanded it a bit.

Making the Square

For the square , I used a wood piece.

I used my Pull saw to cut it and sanded it using a sanding paper.

The Card Board

For the card board itself, I used a piece of birch tree board.

The board height was 8cm so I marked a line on 15.5 cm to have a width according to the proportion of the card.

Making the Socket for the Triangle

For the triangle, I used Chisels to make a socket.

I actually not so experienced with chisels, but I just bought a cheap chisel set lately so It was a good time to practice with it :)

I first used the 1inch chisel with a mallet, to mark the 3 lines of the triangle. Later I used the smaller chisels to clean the wood inside the triangle.

Finally, I placed the triangle inside for a temporary test. The socket was a big bigger than the metal triangle I made, but not that bad. :)

Making the Socket for the Circle

For the circle socket, I used a 3cm Forstner bit in my drill driver.

Making the circular socket was faster than the triangle, for sure... :)

Making the Socket for the Square

For the squared socket, I first started with the biggest chisel and a mallet, as I did for the triangle.

Later I used my Dremel with the Plunge Router Attachment and a router bit, to make the socket. The wood piece I used for the square was thicker than the other materials of the triangle and circle, so using the dremel was easier for it.


Making the Socket for the Square - Continue

Finally, I used the chisel for the edges of the square, for more accurate results than using the dremel.

Cutting the Card Board

I used my sliding miter saw to cut the card with the shapes, from the rest of the birch board.

Gluing the Shapes to the Card

I used a hot glue gun for each shape in it's socket.

Usually I'm using a stronger glue, for this case it saw good enough.

The front side of the card is ready!

Making the Printed Photo Transfer

For the back side of the card, I made a transfer of printed photo.

On the original card in the TV Show, there is a phone number which you call in order to participate in the Game.

I made something different in my card's back side, which is more relevant to my YouTube Channel :)
