gave me a great idea!
is one of my very favorite blogs!
Stop by and see for yourself!
I collect vintage games, Dominoes, Cribbage,
Jenga, and of course Scrabble.
I've used the Scrabble letters in my mantel displays many times...
and I just happen to have a whole jar of tiles just waiting for a great project...
Today I'm going to
combine all those vintage Scrabble tiles....
with the antique clothespins I've been coveting...
add some of my favorite words....
and create some awesome vintage ornaments!
They pin to the branches easily and look perfect!
And no, I couldn't stop there....
For a little more fun I used some leftover tiles to spell my name, glue them to magnets and stick them to an old rusty tool on my desk!
Happy Holiday Season!

ReplyDeleteI love Jane too, she is a creative goddess! Your version of the scrabble ornies is awesome too! t.xoxo
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea, Susan! I bought JOY at an antique store recently and have been trying to decide how I want to display it. I should try and come up with something before Christmas is over! : )
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of adding the tiles to the clothespins, they look great and hang so nicely on the tree. I'm like you....I buy old games all the time for the fun game pieces.
Thanks for the nice shout out!!!

So adorable! I want some old clothespins!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is the thing I love about blogging. I was looking for a way to "write" a message on my mantel and then saw your post. Voila! Out came the scrabble tiles. So thank you for the inspiration! x Sharon
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea. Love how they turned out. I love old clothes pins, and combining them with scrabble tiles has to be a winner.

These Scrabble ornaments are SO CUTE!! I once bought a whole bunch of Scrabble tiles on Ebay so a group of us could play Speed Scrabble. So I've got lots of them to work with. Great idea! :-)
