The game Scrabble is not my cup of tea. I am the worst speller. Probably why I'm not a fan at playing the game. On the other hand, I love the Scrabble home decor. I've seen huge outdoor games, pillows, pictures with the letters, and letters on walls and shelves. I wanted to create the wall idea for my mother-in-law. Originally I thought of doing just the grand kids but she thought it would be better with everyone's name. I'll have to admit, it turned out cute and better with more people.
First I cut the wood out at 3 x 3 inches. Their about 1/2 thick in depth. Sanding the edges. Don't round the corner. Keep them sharp. I kept them at there natural wood color, but you can paint them any color you like. Black or white would be nice. The game is just a natural wood.
Then I have my vinyl cut out at 2 x 2 inches, Except the "I" it's a little smaller. I cut out every letter for each name. Even though your not going to use all of them but you can constantly switch the letters around if needed.
I stuck the vinyl on each block with all the grain of wood going upright. You can also seal the vinyl with Mod Podge or leave it like so.
And it turned out darling. A little small, but just what I wanted. Because there are still more grandchildren on the way. Keeping enough room for more names to be added some day. Love it. For me, I would do 5 x 5 blocks, just because I only do my family, and there's only four of us right now. But if you have a huge family then I suggest smaller blocks, unless you have a huge wall to work with. Very cute.
