Scrabble Art How To
- Paint scrabble trays with desired craft paint colors. A coat of glitter paint over the top will give it extra Holiday sparkle.
- Paint the tops first, let dry. Then paint the bottoms and ends.
- Gather your letters and brainstorm the words you’d like, varying the types of letters if you like.
- Find bits to add to your art: broken jewelry, old buttons, ribbons, junk.
- Decide how you want your word to be on the tray. Overlap letters if you need to conserve space. Place hot melt glue strip behind top of letter only (if you do it on the bottom, it will show more). Glue on each letter.
- Hot glue any extra embellishments you’d like. Finish off with a hot hair drier to melt the glue strings.
Here are some that I did to give you word and embellishment ideas. Once you get started, you’ll want to make a bunch!
Great Idea for Holiday Gifts
Yes, you’ll want to add some of these around your home with your Christmas decor, but they’re great to add to a gift! A fun, unique addition to a homemade treat to give all those people you want to thank this time of year.
I added one to the top of my Delicious Cranberry Orange Bread and some backyard black raspberry freezer jam.
Don’t you love homemade gifts like these that show you put in some extra effort?
These little greetings are the perfect windowsill decor touch, too.

When I was a teenager and young adult our family played scrabble several times a week! Your holiday art brought back so many wonderful memories and I love how creative you are!
Glad it brought back good memories, Mary Beth! My mom was the scrabble queen, so yes, we played it quite often too. I always liked the fast version, without the board.
These are so cute and creative! Love the added embellishments. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks!
I have never been able to find any scrabble pieces but I will keep looking so many cute ways to use them. Thanks and have a great fun weekend.
You can get them on Etsy! I put a link on the word so people could find them there.
