Scrabble Pendants!

update-some of you have asked about the chains. they are silver boxed chains 16 inches long. my friend got them from this link.   She said they were the best price with the best shipping.

Put a coat of Elmers glue on the back side of your tile. The side without the letter.


Then stick it to a piece of scrap booking paper.


To make sure you have the tile where you want it, hold it up to the light. I wanted my tile right next to those 3 pretty little flowers.


Wait till the glue is dried. This will only take a few minutes.
Then place your paper on a cutting board. Cut around the tile through the paper with an exact-o knife.



Your tile will be left with some rough edges from the paper.



To take care of the rough edges we need to sand them down. You can do this with one of those metal nail files, or I just had some sand paper in the garage that I used. Start from the top of the tile where the paper is glued and sand down --- From the top down.

I know this is a terrible picture. You try sanding a tile, while taking a picture, without a tripod. :-)



Next cover the front of your tile and the sides with one of my very best friends - modge podge.

Wait till that dries. It won't take long.

Then cover the top of your tile with Diamond Glaze (link for diamond glaze), starting from the outside working your way in. Do not use too much. Just enough to cover the top.

You will probably end up with a few tiny little bubbles. So take a needle or something sharp and pop them. Some of them were a little hard to pop, so I just carefully scooted them off.


This will take a few hours to dry. When it's dry put a little drop of super glue on the back of your silver bail. These can be found on ebay or etsy as well. Here is an etsy shop that I found that sells them.


Stick it to the back of your tile. Let it dry just a few minutes and you're done!

These are so fun to make! So go get the stuff, invite your friends over, and have a little scrabble pendant making party!

TIP-  If you look on etsy they have these really great craft making kits sometimes. They give you all the stuff to make whever it is you want and instructions as well.   Here is a great link to one for these scrabble tile pendants kits.
