Decopaged or Painted Scrabble Tile Pendant Swap

My bails are glued on with super strong glue such as you use for glass pendants, is that ok?

Sure! If that works and is pretty secure, that should be fine!

Hmmm watching just now as I don't know if I can source wooden tiles.

I don't think I have the skill level for this but it's a great idea! I bought a few pendants like this off etsy and get compliments ALL the time. If I ever hone my crafting skills enough maybe I'll try this someday.

Best place to find the scrabble tiles is at a second hand store. Up here in Canada the old scrabble games are easy to find at Value Village or Salvation Army Thrift Stores. You can usually pick up a whole game with complete tile set for a couple bucks.

What a fun idea. This is on my watch list for now. I am a bit concerned because what if I don't have my partner's initials?

Hi grimmlynn; Once the partners are assigned, you will see who you send to, as always. You can take their initials from their mailing address info.

Okay, I think I weirded my question strangely. What if, for some reason, I don't have my partner's initials in my stash of scrabble tiles? I just randomly send and create with them and never really thought about the letter on the back. Could I use a blank tile to create the missing letter(s) if necessary? :-)

Hi Grimmlynn; Yes, you can use blanks if you have to.. as long as you don't leave them blank :)

Is a screw in "eye" okay for the ribbon or chain?

Sure! The wood on the tiles is hardwood.. so you'll have to be sure it is small enough to not split the wood (or pre-drill?) If you've had experience with these (I've never tried the screw in ones...) I'm sure you have it all figured out...!

Thank you! :-)

I'd love to join this but my bag of scrabble tiles is used and they aren't all there and I'm scared I won't have the letters for both of the initials. I saw the post above about a blank tile but I don't even think I have any of those. Any ideas? Or should I just sit out.

If you want, druideye, you can join and then see... if it doesn't work in your favor, we can arrange for a partner swap perhaps. I will leave it up to you. I can likely accomodate you.
