Mad About Scrabble!

I am a lover of all things scrabble related! I guess that’s my inner geek coming through! So when I saw a picture of these adorable scrabble tile coasters on Pinterest! But I couldn’t find any tutorials of how to make them so I just made it up as I went along! For this week’s craft you will need wooden scrabble letters (you can buy these in packs on eBay for pretty cheap), thin cork coasters (again I got mine off of Amazon for not a lot), a glue gun, varnish and scissors.3

I’m a bit of a geek and keep all my letters in alphabetical order! First of all you need to start arranging 4 or 5 letter words that go together and match them into 4×4 or 5×5 blocks.4

Once you have your letters arranged, start to stick them onto the cork coaster using your glue gun. After the first row is in place, be sure to also glue the edge of each tile so that they all stay stuck together!1.1

Once finished, use some scissors to cut the coaster down to size.

To finish the coaster off, add a coat of varnish, like the one below. Make sure you follow the instructions on the canister you’re using and make sure you’re in a well ventilated room!5

Now all that’s left is to have your friends over and have a good old coffee and a chin wag!
