And immediately put it into my Pinterest board: "Things I Know I Can Make Myself."
And, Guess what? I DID!
And, best part: IT WAS REALLY EASY!
I'm re-decorating our guest room/ office right now, and this fun Scrabble-style word will be front and center on the wall. I'll post a picture later of the final view, but I just couldn't wait until the room was ready to try this awesome craft!
Supplies:
I knew I wanted thin, flat, pieces of natural wood
(the best part of this project is that scrabble tiles are natural wood, so there is no extra
painting involved for the authentic look!).
The pieces I found were perfect-- 6 x 4 inches, thin and flat, and only $1/each from Hobby Lobby!
I also needed to make a template of the scrabble letters:
I found a useful image of the Scrabble alphabet, then used it to match fonts and numbers!
Now let the crafting begin...
Four more letters later....
Now wasn't that easy? Hmmmmm?
I am so happy with my new, classic-looking, $5 craft!
Go pick your favorite word and make your own scrabble tiles!
Very, very cool. I've seen these around but I like that you went with thinner pieces of wood. Thank you so much for linking to Totally Tutorial Tuesday.

Have you thought about adding a vertical word? What about using the A for the word "harder" :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the way it turned out!!
Love this times 109273!

ReplyDeleteHome made decorations are so more satisfying than buying things. If you don't want wooden pieces you could always try using wall tiles. Imagine a tiled bathroom with words such as 'Splash' and 'Wash' in Scrabble letters on the wall :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat technique did you use to transfer the letter and number to the wood tile? Fantastic! Thanks--cyndi
