Directions to Make Scrabble Tile Ornaments
1. Create your words.
Select the letters you want to use to spell out the words for your ornaments.
2. Trace around the letters.
Place the scrabble letters on the white stiff felt to form your words.
Trace around the letters with a light marker or pencil to form the template for the size you need.
3. Cut out the felt templates.
4. Glue the letters onto the felt.
Hot glue (with adult assistance) each letter to the felt.
We also recommend adding some glue in between the letters to prevent them from bending sideways.
5. Glue a red bow on top of the letters.
Add a festive touch to your ornament with a bow.
Tie the bow. Then add a little bit of hot glue to the center of your word to glue the bow to.
6. Glue ribbon or twine to the back for hanging.
If you want to hang your letters, glue a piece of twine to the back.
You can also use the letters to create framed art or glue magnets to the back!
Kids will love hanging these handmade scrabble ornaments on the Christmas tree!
