When I have an idea for a DIY I always ask everyone I know to look out for a product I need. I used to work in a thriftstore so my old colleages are always called in for projects and to be on the lookout! But as always I end up with about 15 Scrabble games that I can't possibly use in one project due to my sweet friends and colleages!;)
So then I had 1000+ Scrabble stones and I had to go on the hunt for new ideas and DIY's.
Now I Googled this DIY after I had made it and of course it had already been done. I mean it's not a very hard DIY to come up with but what I mean to say is that I did not make it up completely and can not take credits for this project ;)
What you will need for this DIY:
- Scrabble letters
- Super glue
- Thick paper or cardboard paper (optional)
I am in love with quotes and rhymes and will incorporate these in just about any project. Feel free to make these coasters with or without quotes and rhymes and just throw a bunch of letters together for fun and playful coasters.
You can go quick and simple and glue the letters together for a quick DIY.
I however chose to add cardboard to the coasters by glueing the letters to the cardboard. It makes the coasters slightly more durable.
I simply played around with the letters until I got the quote that I fancied. Glued them onto the cardboard and let the glue dry. When the glue had completely dried, I trimmed the cardboard off around the edges.
The fun thing about this project is that you can go any way with it. You can add quotes or just any random letter and you can make the coasters as big or as small as you like! It's a project you can create by using the leftovers items and items you have lying around the house! If you want to go for the big bang and Scrabble the house up, make customized placemats for guests;)
Have fun with this DIY and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
