My Scrabble Board Project
Don't forget to stop by and Like my Facebook Page! DIY Vintage Chic.
Words with Friends is going crazy and there's a sudden popularity with using scrabble letters as art so I thought I'd make an art piece that works for us in the house.

Here are my materials: Scrabble game; old Dictionary ($1.00 at Goodwill!), magnets, 24"x24" sheet metal, frame |
I glued the magnets to the back of each scrabble letter |
I used some Mod Podge to glue some dictionary pages to the sheet metal |
One layer of pages done. I added a 2nd layer to make sure all of the sheet metal was covered. |
I created my own scrabble board and printed it out. {You can purchase a Vintage Scrabble Board PDF, Large Format Board and Custom Scrabble Tiles from my Etsy Shop} I then went over all of the pages with a coat of Mod Podge to protect the pages. |
I bought a frame you can put together yourself. It's a little thin so I may still look for a 2'x2' frame or maybe make my own. |
Hang it up! |
Then write your own message or have an ongoing game. |
***While
I'm thrilled to share my step-by-step directions, the good and the bad,
these are intended for your personal use. I'm always happy to hear and
see what my bloggers have been working on. BUT a lot of work goes into
these creations and while I have no issues sharing so you are able to
create the work for your precious homes please understand that selling
an exact duplication of my designs is highly frowned upon. :( Please
always be considerate of another artists work. Thank you!***
LOVE this idea! Is there any way that you would possibly share the board that you created? Is there any way that I could get a digital copy? (For example: could you e-mail it to me?) I would love to use it to make my own board!
