As I mentioned in my Father's Day Craft roundup, Scrabble and Words with Friends is a favorite game for Anthony and I to play with each other and to play with his dad and brother so I knew immediately I wanted to try to recreate a scrabble word frame. This project is very cheap and easy to do and took less than 10 minutes to complete. My type of project with a very needy baby in tow!
Materials
Shadow Frame (similar)
To start off, I simply laid out the tiles on the mat to figure out spacing. Once I was satisfied with the look, I put a small dab of hot glue on a tile.
I only removed the tile I was working with so I wouldn't loose the spacing I created.
Once all tiles were glued on, I put the mat back in the frame and I put the picture I selected aligned with the opening. I attached it with a small piece of tape at the top of the back of the photo so it wouldn't move. Ta-Da!
The possibilities are endless, you can create a frame spelling out you and your significant other's name showing your wedding photo. Or even your parent's name as a great anniversary gift. Possible graduation gift? Babyshower gift? I hope you find inspiration in this quick and easy (and cheap) tutorial, just remember be creative and make this yours.
Now what should I create with the rest of the scrabble tiles? Keychain? Coasters? Have you created something using scrabble tiles that I should try?
