DIY Scrabble Tile Ring! 

Supplies Needed:
1. Scrabble Tiles
2. Blank adjustable rings
3. epoxy glue

Step 1: Apply some epoxy glue to the flat, blank circular disk spot on your adjustable ring.

Step 2: Stick scrabble tile letter of your choice (letter side up) to the epoxy and wait several minutes for drying time.

If you want you can adhere scrabble tile letter side down and create a stylish ring with various papers like vintage ephemera or even a custom family photo similar to my Scrabble Tile Pendant tutorial. This will allow you a wider range of colors, styles and even custom prints!

What a great re-sale idea!

Make Scrabble Tile Earrings... 

Supplies Needed:
1. Scrabble Tiles
2. Silver/Gold toned earwires "fish hooks" or studs/posts
3. 6-10mm jumprings
4. pair of jewelry pliers

Step 1: With your 1/16th drill bit, drill a small hole in the center top of the Scrabble Tile, just above the letter.

Step 1: Add a 6mm-10mm jumpring and a matching (silver or gold toned) earwire or "fish hook".

Yes, you can skip the drilling and just epoxy post earring backs to the center of the Scrabble Tile back (the blank side).

These make great personalized gifts because you can use someone's initials. Other cute ideas are "XO" for hugs and kisses or "LR" for no brainer left and right or "QT" for cutie.

I happen to sell quite a bit of the personalized initials, these are great and affordable gifts, they make perfect stocking stuffers...so many ideas!

Funky Scrabble Tile CuffLinks 

Supplies Needed:
1. Scrabble Tiles
2. Blank silver/gold toned cufflinks
3. epoxy glue

Step 1: Much like the adjustable ring, the steps for the cufflinks are the same...start out by applying epoxy glue to the flat base of the silver or gold toned cuff link blank.

Step 2: Personalize with Scrabble letters of choice.

Ladies are sucking these up for their men as great funky gag type gifts.

Since they too are sold in pairs, customers are requesting initials, L+R, X+O etc...

They are real little conversation pieces and show that the wearer has a sense of humor while wearing a stuffy suit.

Does anyone know where I can purchase frames that go around scrabble tiles for jewelry making?. They are usually silver in color and the tiles fit perfectly in them. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!
