I made these big DIY holiday Scrabble Tiles for this months Power Tool Challenge Team event. You guessed it, this months theme is holiday. How could you not smile with something as cute as the word Merry in large Scrabble tiles?
Right?
Let me share with you a little secret.

Let me share with you a little secret.
Scrabble is one of my favorite board games. It has been for years.
Here's the supply list
Start by cutting all the pieces. Be sure to cut on the outside of the cut line you drew. Measure the next section or tile after each cut.
Sand all the edges with the palm sander. The only reason I have blue wood is this was all from my scrap pile and I had this left over from something. I LOVE my scrap pile:)
Use wood glue and 3/4 brad nails and attach the sides of the scrabble tile holder like the picture below. Fill in any nail holes with wood filler. Paint the base with white paint. Give it one good coat of clear wax when the paint is dry.
Prepare the vinyl Scrabble letters & numbers. Apply two coats of clear wax on the bare Scrabble wood tiles. Wait at least 3 hours before applying the second coat. Buff with a clean soft rag. Apply the vinyl letters and numbers.
How fun is this?
Maybe I should put one of the large DIY Scrabble Tiles in DH's stocking this Christmas.
Enjoyed the project?

I used an old scrabble game that was missing letters to make this cute and personal project for our one yr. Ann.
