5 Minute Craft Idea

For the last 4 months I have been obsessively buying every Scrabble game I find in thrift stores, I’m up to 5 games so I figured I should start using them. So here is my first Scrabble project and Yes you heard me right, it is a fabulous craft that will only take 5 minutes to make!Start with a blank frame you have lying around or one that is just begging for a makeover, most sizes will work.  I used an 11×8 because I wanted a little more of the background color to show.

After you find the frame you want to use, simply frame coordinating photo, paper, or as I used – fabric.  I used left over fabric I had from making my curtains.

I super glued my scrabble letters directly to the glass, but I’m sure you could use a frame without glass and glue it right to the background.

Once you finished gluing the letters onto the frame all you have left to do is hanging up! Like I said how much simpler can it get. It’s very simple but I think its adorable and adds the right amount of color to our little blank wall.

… so the more I sit here and look at my little creation, I think I’m going to add something to the white border… hmmm maybe I could Modge Podge some old dictionary pages to it. Any of you guys have some ideas for me?

I hope you enjoyed this quick craft idea, if you have any 5 minutes or less craft ideas let me know and I would love to feature you!

Scrabble Games

So over the last 2 weeks of Goodwill shopping, I have hit the jackpot! I have found 3 Scrabble games for only $1.99 each!!! You might be thinking… what in the world are you going to do with 3 Scrabble games? Well I will show you.

I want to make one of these:

I found this over at Room to Inspire and fell in love with the idea of framing scrabble pieces.

But this is what is what I am really looking forward to making…

How much fun would this be to have in your house! I will probably wait till we finish moving to California before I get on this project, but I will definitely keep you updated when I get started on it. Head on over to The Twice Remembered Cottage for complete details on how to make this beauty!

Do you have any creative ideas to do with Scrabble pieces? Send me pictures or a link and I would love to feature it.

Personalized Guess Who

I found this project over at Mads Memories and absolutely fell in love with it!

You take an ordinary game of Guess Who (which…who doesn’t love!) and you customize it with pictures of friends and family!

How cute is this idea! Do you have any customized games? Send me a link and I would love to post it!
