Scrabble Tile Christmas Ornament Tutorial

First of all, you’ll want to order your supplies ahead of time. I love to use Amazon because of the ease, and since I have Amazon Prime, usually the ordered items arrive in two days.

But, you can also get them at your local craft store, such as Michael’s, Joann’s, or Hobby Lobby. Always, check online for coupons. They typically have a 40% off coupon every week!

Supplies for the Scrabble Tile Christmas Ornament

Tile letters (pictured ones below are from Walmart, or here are some Scrabble Tiles for crafts from Amazon)
Hot glue and glue gun
School glue
Iridescent glitter, sparkling snow, and/or confetti
Decorative ribbon, for hanging
Decorative buttons, charms, or stickers (pictured ones below are from Hobby Lobby)

Directions

Choose the sayings you wish to create from the tile letters and design in the desired pattern.

Here are some ideas:

Let it Snow
Faith Hope Love
Jesus is Born
The Reason for the Season
Christ was Born for This
Wise Men Still Seek Him
Peace on Earth
Joy to the World
I Believe
Silent Night
Away in a Manger
Goodwill Toward Men
Winter Wonderland

Glue the letters to one another using hot glue.

Once the letters are set, drizzle school glue along the top edges and gently dip the ornament into glitter, sparkling snow, or confetti. Allow to dry completely.

Attach decorative stickers, buttons, or charms to open spaces and/or edges.

Be creative. You can do this in so many different ways! Your kids will have so much fun with this step.

Using hot glue, attach a ribbon to the back for hanging on your Christmas tree.

Make Your Scrabble Tile Christmas Ornament More Special

Here’s a suggestion for making the Scrabble Tile Christmas ornament even more meaningful and special. Use your child’s name and the year for the “words.” On the back, attach a picture of the child. Laminate it before attaching to make the ornament last even longer. Use stickers, charms, and/or buttons that demonstrate what your child did or was interested in during that year!
