Outdoor Scrabbleboard

I fell in love with an outdoor scrabble board that I saw on Pinterest because I am addicted to scrabble and words with friends. The one I saw however was scored into concrete. I just couldn't see doing all that work and not being able to take it with me if we would ever move. Plus I really thought it would be a great conversation piece and something my kids and grandkids could enjoy someday. It turned out to be a tedious project, but I am super pleased with the end result. The board was pretty easy. I just penciled in the lines for each space, then I scored it with a circular saw. I painted it with craft paint and wrote in the double and triple word spaces, sanded it and sealed it with mod podge. The tiles were a bit painful. I had to cut each one, sand them, cut out the letters on my Cricut machine, then seal them several times, because I wanted them to last. A month of working on it off and on...Woolah! Complete.
Enjoyed the project?

AuntieBetty065 on Jan 20, 2016I could see this done on an up-scaled (recycle) coffee table. Also make a drawer underneath to store the letters blocks. Great way to get kids interested in words!
