Scrabble Tile Ornament

Creating a Scrabble tile ornament is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your holiday decorations. You can spell out festive words like "joy" or "peace" or even craft each family member's name for a unique touch. These ornaments not only look charming hanging on the tree but also make for thoughtful gifts. Get creative with the arrangement of the tiles and add some glitter or ribbon for extra flair. Whether you're a Scrabble enthusiast or simply looking for a fun and easy DIY project, making Scrabble tile ornaments is a delightful way to spread holiday cheer and personalize your decor with a touch of nostalgia. Enjoy the process and have fun crafting your own unique ornaments to cherish for years to come!

• On top of a paper plate, line the scrabble tiles up so that they spell “let it snow”. Use a pen to trace around the shape of the tiles onto the paper plate (this does not have to be perfect). As you can see, you just need a rough outline of the shape of your letters.
• Cut the shape out, cutting it smaller than the actual outline by cutting inside the lines by about ¼-inch. You want the shape to be large enough to glue the letters to, but small enough that they don’t overlap or show from the front of the ornament.
• Apply white craft glue all over the template then press the letters in place.

• Place something heavy on top of the letters, like a bottle of craft paint, and let them dry for 2-3 hours.
• Apply snow texture paint to the top edges of the letters to make it look like they have freshly fallen snow on them. You can use a palette knife, paintbrush, or even your finger. Be sure to wash your hands when you’re done! Let the snow texture dry for at least an hour (or as bottle directs).
• Once the snow texture paint has dried, cut a piece of ribbon and fold into a loop. Glue the ribbon hanger to the back of the ornament.
• Cut a piece of felt the same shape as the ornament and glue it to the back, covering the hanger. Let everything dry before hanging on your tree.

Instructions

• On top of a paper plate, line the scrabble tiles up so that they spell "let it snow". Use a pen to trace around the shape of the tiles onto the paper plate (this does not have to be perfect).
• As you can see, you just need a rough outline of the shape of your letters.
• Place paper plate design over the top of your felt and cut the shape out, cutting it smaller than the actual outline by cutting inside the lines by about 1/4-inch. You will be cutting through both the paper plate and the felt. Hint, you can add a drop of glue between the plate and the felt to help keep it together temporarily while you cut.
• Set the felt shape aside to use at the end of the tutorial.
• Your paper plate shape should be large enough to glue the letters to, but small enough that they don't overlap or show from the front of the ornament.
• Apply glue all over the paper plate template then press the letters in place.
• Place something heavy on top of the letters, like a bottle of craft paint, and let them dry for 2-3 hours.
• Cut a piece of ribbon and fold into a loop. Glue the ribbon hanger to the back of the ornament.
