Playable Scrabble Wall Art Tutorial

We love Scrabble in my house!! Now that we have this magnetic board we always have a game going in our kitchen! Our friends love this piece too. Its fun to see what they spell out when we have a get together. 

Step 1: What You Will Need

What You Need:
-A Picture Frame ( I would suggest at least an 8X10)
-A Piece of Sheet Metal (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.)
-Liquid Nail (or any strong adhesive)
-100+ Magnets (found at any craft store. Go to HobbyLobby.com to get a "40% off an item" coupon)
-Scrabble Tiles or make your own using wooden squares found at any craft store (4th photo)
-Clear Spray Paint

Optional:
-Tin Snips: if you cannot find sheet metal to fit your frame buy a piece that is a little bigger and cut it with Tin Snips to make it fit.
-Mod Podge: (Or Elmers Glue. Used to Decorate the metal)
-Bag of wooden tiles (only necessary if you are making your own tiles)
-Paper to cover the metal (I used pages from a Thesaurus)

Could you slice off part of the frame and put a hinge so u could open it like a door and store the tiles that each person has to themselves? ( I think each person has 7 tiles each)

Hmm.. Interesting idea. I havent thought of that before. I'm sure you could do that!

[Charlie123456]

Cool instructable! Is there any way of putting the tiles each person has in the frame somehow?

[mynameiskorrine]

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain your idea further? Thank you!

Mod Podge and Scrabble? Yes, please. =D

Though I have no idea where I would put something like this... but my friends have a lot of open space in their home. hmmm.

Did you use the glass that came with the frame? Your background looks smooth and well, glassy. Regardless, that's an incredible idea, and thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Thank You!

That's a great question. I did not use the glass. I only used the frame. I tried to glue down the paper really well, so the pages didn't stick up. That may be why it looks so smooth in the photo.

Thanks again!
