Since you are probably currently playing Words With Friends and haven’t touched your Scrabble board in years, don’t hesitate to use your Scrabble tiles to make these Scrabble Tile COASTERS!  You can also buy more on Amazon!

Materials:

  • Scrabble tiles
  • E6000 glue
  • 1 thin corkboard
  • Scissors
  • Clear Polyurethane spray

Directions:

1.  Choose your 4 four-letter words for each coaster.

2.  Glue them to your cork using the E6000.  Keep everything aligned perfectly.

3.  Put a heavy book on top so they dry flat.

4.  Cut off the surrounding cork.

5.  Lay them on newspaper and spray with a coat of polyurethane.  Let dry.

Voila!
