Scrabble Bracelet
Old Scrabble game pieces
Small vice, or heavy safety gloves and courage. (That's a joke, this project's easy don't worry)
Drill with a small bit
Painters Tape
Dividing beads if wished
Elastic
1) Find game pieces that spell out whatever you want. Mine's my name.
2) Wrap the sides of the piece in tape. Not the sides you will drill through. This gives it protection from the jaws of the vice.
3) Put the piece into the vice and secure. After marking where you want the hole, take your drill and carefully drill a hole through each piece trying to make it as straight as possible.
4) After you are finished, remove the tape and if you wish sand around the holes for a smooth finish.
5) Thread them onto elastic with your spacer bead, then go out and show off! You've now made an awesome bracelet!

Very cute idea for the scrabble fans!
This is an awesome idea (considering my family doesn't play scrabble anymore). I took it a bit further by adding some more beads in between and adding pictures to the back of the tiles. Ex; if your name was Amy, you could put a picture of a Animal on the back of the A tile (thats a bad example, but you get the point).
i have another cute idea for these tiles got to figure it all out. this is different but very nice
love it!
Great way to recycle old Scrabble tiles. It's funky and cute.
this would also look cute with the tiles driller throught the corner and funky wooden beads...
awesome, great use for old board games

What a wonderful idea for Christmas gifts for the grandgirls. Thanks.
