Scrabble Tile Decor

Supplies: A 10 x 10 artist’s canvas, a 12 x 12 piece of woodgrain paper, usually found in the scrapbook aisle. A large wooden letter of your choice, a small number (I lucked out and found one that was already painted  black), Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue, America Acrylic Paint in Black, a paper cutter or scissors. All items available at Ben Franklin Crafts and Frame.

Directions: Paint the large wooden letter black. It may take 2-3 coats to get full coverage. Let it completely dry. If you have a paper cutter, cut your wooden scrapbook paper to 10 x 10. If you don’t have a paper cutter, no problem. Flip your paper over so the wooden side is face down and use a ruler to measure 10 x10 inches. Cut it out.  Apply the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue to the artist’s canvas. Carefully place the piece of wooden scrapbook paper on top. Use the glue to attach the large letter and small number and let it set.

    1. Thanks Steph that MossyMat is a cool product. I’m sure you could get in all kinds of (good) trouble with it! xo

  1. Love these ideas!! I love using letters for decorations. In fact, I was sharing with my daughter last night that we need to put our intials up on our wall. Each person could pick their own way of decorating their letter to match their tastes. So a little bit of everybody is represented. Love it!!
