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.

{You can now purchase a PDF file of the scrabble board at my Etsy shop}
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.
Thanks for stopping by!

***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!***

  1. 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!

    Thanks a million!

  2. Just because you're playin a word game doesn't mean that you have to come up with the most complex words.
