Personalized Scrabble Tile Ornaments!

First, of course you will need to make sure you have the correct letters to spell out your word. It could say "Happy Holidays," like mine, or you could do someone's name, "love," "peace," or anything else!



Make sure your letters are on a good surface for drilling. Mine was extra fancy--cardboard! Lol! Using a 5/64 drill bit, I eyeballed the center of each tile and drilled a small hole.



Next, cut your organza ribbon to approximately 6" lengths. Make a diagonal cut on each end of the ribbon so that it can be threaded easily onto a sewing needle. Put your ribbon onto your needle and pull it gently through the hole in the scrabble tile.



Next, leaving the needle ON the ribbon (unless you don't mind re-threading it in a minute), tie a knot close to the tile. Make sure both of your ends are about the same length.



This is optional, but I really like how festive the little flower beads look, and they cover up the knot, too! Using the needle, pull one end of your ribbon through the bead.



Now, put the needle on the other side of the ribbon. Hold the ribbon that is already through the bead very tightly so that you can see through the hole in the bead.



Pull the 2nd end of the ribbon through the bead. Keep holding that first end tight, so you don't accidentally put the needle through the ribbon!



If the needle doesn't go through easily, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to help out.



Pull your bead down over the knot. Tie a know or a bow at the other end of the ribbon and Ta-Da! You did it!



Now repeat with all of your other letters. You can use the same colored beads or all different ones. I used a pattern to look like Christmas lights.
