A while back one of my friends gave me a huge bag of extra scrabble tiles. Ever since, I’ve been mulling over what to do with them. One of my favorite ideas that I have come across so far is turning them into coasters, like Krysta from Domestic for Dummies did after she saw a set for sale for $26. If you happen to have tiles laying around anyway, you can whip up your own for a heck of a lot cheaper! Use drink-related words to up the clever quotient, or arrange the letters any other way you like. If you don’t have the right letters to make enough words for a full set of coasters, even random letters will work! [how to make Scrabble tile coasters]
Project estimate:
- Scrabble tiles, on hand or about $5
- Cork tile, $1 and up
- Glue, on hand
- Spray enamel, on hand or $1 and up
Total: $1 and up

I would be a totally useless conversation partner if something like this was on the table before me. I would stare at it all the time!

you can also find scrabble tiles at thrift stores. Lots of games are sold there ranging from 3 dollars on down. I got a set for about 50 cents! I love this project idea–thanks!

I love this idea! Would be a perfect way to use those left over tiles that DIDNT get lost that would be perfect! Im going to have to gather mine and give this a try!

I am going to add this to our list of Christmas Goodies for the boys to make. I can see making them with names for personalized gifts.
