My sister and her family are big Scrabble fans, so when I saw her pin a magnetic Scrabble board on Pinterest, I knew I had to try my hand at making her one for Christmas.  I had almost everything I needed on hand already; your costs will vary depending on what you have to buy for it.  I recommend trying a thrift store for an old Scrabble game and for a frame.

I started with a magnet roll like this:

You can cut this easily using sturdy kitchen scissors.  I just cut pieces out to be slightly smaller than the Scrabble tiles.

Stick a magnet on the back of each tile.  Since the magnet comes on a roll, I found that it was a little curved after I stuck it on.  I laid all the finished magnets out like this:

And covered them with a board and some heavy books overnight to make sure they stayed stuck.

Next, I went to Lowe’s and bought a piece of metal.  They come in all different sizes, but this one was 36″ X 48″.  I found it in the roofing section, and it was less than $10.  I already had a poster frame that was the same size, so I chose to use that.  If you have a smaller frame that you want to use, you can cut the metal with a straight edge and a very sharp blade, or with scissors like the ones in the picture above, or with tin snips.  It will leave a not-so-smooth edge, but you should be fine because you will cover it with a frame.

My frame had a sturdy piece of masonite for the backing, so I just attached the metal straight to that.  If your frame doesn’t have that, you may need to cut (or buy) a piece of masonite or plywood the same size as the metal.

I dotted the  metal with Liquid Nails and carefully centered it onto the masonite backing.  Weigh it down and leave it for several hours or overnight.

Insert the backing/metal back into the frame and let the games begin!
