Cork Board Scrabble Coasters

When following these instructions, users will be able to create about 6 4x4 scrabble piece coasters.

Step 1: Materials

Materials:

-100 Scrabble tiles

-1 16 fl oz Modge podge bottle (shiny or matte depending on preference)

-Cork board (6in x 6in cork board 4 Pack)

-1 Pair of Scissors

-1 Paint brush

Optional Materials:

-E-6000 glue (for tighter hold)

-Exacto-knife (for closer cut)

Step 2: 4 Letter Words!

Select four 4-letter words from scrabble pieces.

Optional: Refer to Step 10 for possible word combinations.

Step 3: Lining Up Your Board

Lay 16 scrabble pieces in a 4x4 formation on the cork board.

Step 4: Tracing

Trace the outline of the letters to aid in cutting out a square from cork board.

Step 5: Cutting

Cut out cork board square with scissors or Exacto-knife. A little overhang of the scrabble tiles is perfectly fine.

(Tip: Exacto-knife will work better than scissors if available)

Step 6: Glueing

Glue down all pieces in desired letter pattern on cork board using E-6000 glue or Modge Podge. If any piece doesn’t stay glued down reapply a small amount of glue or Modge Podge.

Tip: Make sure to shake modge podge before using

Tip: Make sure to apply pressure when placing pieces onto glue

Step 7: Drying

While the Modge Podge dries for around 5 minutes, apply pressure to the top of pieces to provide tighter hold.

Step 8: Applying Finish

Apply thin, even coat of Modge Podge using a paint brush to the top and sides of cork board and scrabble pieces. After applying to the sides make sure to smooth the top again to remove clumps.

Step 9: Finishing Touches

Wait for Modge Podge to dry for at least 15 minutes before using product.

(The thicker the Modge Podge is applied, the longer drying time will be.)
