DIY: Scrabble Magnets

I was inspired by a photo I pinned on Pinterest for this most recent project. Scrabble tile magnets. Cute, fun and easy! 

Instead of buying a new Scrabble game, I chose to wait around until I could score a super cheap one at a thrift store. It took a little more than month of searching, but I was finally successful!

Supplies:
Scrabble Tiles
Magnet Strips
Scissors
Clorox wipes (if you buy a used set and want to clean them first)

There are not any specific steps to follow for this project. Simply, choose the letters or words that you want to turn into magnets and begin. Cut the magnetic strips to match the size of the tiles. Peel off the backing of the magnet strip and attach to each tile.

Choose tiles.

Clean.

Peel backing on magnets and stick to the individual tiles. 

I chose to do a set of the alphabet A-Z and the words: PARIS, ROME, LONDON, LAUGH & CREATE. I had about 85 tiles in my Scrabble box (in comparison to the 100 tiles that come in a new Scrabble game) and did not come close to using all of them.

Have fun and be creative with the letters and the words!

Uses:

     - cute decor for the refrigerator (ex: spell out names of cities to display        

       vacation or travel photos.)

     - an alternative or addition to the traditional plastic letter magnets for 

       children (great for letter 

       recognition and spelling!)

     - pack tiles with a metal baking sheet for children to enjoy on a road trip
