We at White Elephant Creations love to play the game of Scrabble, and we love to use the Scrabble letters to make new creations as well. (See scrabble magnets w/box and Scrabble Board Wall Art). A very simple craft to make that is a great “end of the school year” gift for teachers are Scrabble name plates. With some Scrabble letters, a letter rack, and some glue, you can make easy name plate gifts for teachers to display on their desks.
Using a Scrabble board and tiles, we made wall art as a gift for our brother and sister-in-law to display in our newborn nephew’s room. We decided to only use the tiles from a single set which limited our options for words, but it was a fun challenge. The board is sturdy enough to stand alone, but my dad custom made a frame to hold it since the board is basically a square and not standard frame size.
Scrabble is a fun game to play, and the tiles make great crafts as well. You can typically find an older version relatively cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. We have made many crafts over the years using Scrabble tiles. We even have a refrigerator magnet set for sale at our online store if interested. http://www.whiteelephantcreations.com/scrabble-magnets/
