Scrabble Lovers Key Hookrail
Mother's Day is coming up and I wanted to create something special for my mom. I recently found an old scrabble game that someone discarded and thought it would be fun to use it to make the gift. My mom is an avid scrabble player, so this is going to be perfect.
Supplies
2 pieces of 8X10 foam core
gold spray paint
favorite photograph
ruler
pencil
exacto blade
hot glue gun
medium binder clip
scrabble pieces, (letters and letter rack)
4 cup hooks
Measuring and Cutting
Measure the foam core to be the size of the scrabble letter rack. Using the exact blade cut both pieces the same size.
Then cut in one piece the opening for the photograph to create a small frame.
Spraypaint
Spray the frame pieces and the binder clip
Insert Photo
tape the photo to the wrong side of the foam core with photo facing out. Use the hot glue gun to glue the front and back pieces of foam core together.
Add Hooks
space the hooks evenly along the edge of the letter tray and screw them in. Then using the hot glue gun attach the hooks to the bottom edge of the frame. Also clip the binder clip on the top edge. This will be used as a hanger.
Hot Glue Gun
Again use the hot glue gun to arrange the scrabble letters to your Hookrail. I chose to glue them haphazardly (?)
You my decide to spell words...be creative and have fun!
