DIY - Turn Plant Stand into Scrabble Wall Tiles

I found this plant stand on the side of the road. I picked it up because I instantly saw the wood shelves as Scrabble wall tiles. It took me awhile to figure out a four letter word to use, but when the word NEST came to mind, I knew it was perfect. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and numbers and used them as stencils. My husband put the picture hangers on the back. We hung this in our three seasons porch and I love it!

Easy and cheap DIY project!!

Valentine Scrabble Messages!

I made these for Christmas this year (I blogged those as well) and thought they would be cute for Valentine's Day this year. I painted the stands pink and red and glued the letters on to make cute sayings for Valentine's Day. Some of the words I put on there were: Valentines, We (heart) You, Feb. 14, Yummy (I am going to put this on the Valentines cookies we hand out), XOXOXOXOXOXO. I put little hooks on the sides of each one (my husband just drilled little holes and the hooks just screw right in) so I can tie them easily onto gifts and or cookie trays. There are millions of things you could say with these! Fun little addition to any gift or just a decoration for your desk. Cute way to send a message this Valentine's Day!!!

DIY Scrabble Ornaments and Name Tags

I have been picking up Scrabble games at yards sales for awhile now. I thought the letters would make cute ornaments on a tree. I spelled out some Christmas words. The kids helped me with this and they loved it! It turned into a great spelling activity for them. I glued the letters on the wooden blocks. My husband then cut them to size. I hang them with ribbon (the last picture shows you what we use to hang the ornaments) on the trees.

I thought this would be a great idea for name tags as well! It is a name tag and an ornament in one! The recipient can hang their "name tag" on their tree after they open their gift.
