DIY Scrabble Letter Christmas Ornaments

For the second DIY of Christmas, I made DIY Scrabble Letter Ornaments!

I saw these several years ago and have been wanting to make them ever since.  So glad I finally got them done and they fit my white and black with touches of red decor theme this year too.

Supplies needed (affiliate links included for your convenience):

• Scrabble letters
• hot glue
• ribbon

So in all my thrifting and yard sale shopping, I looked for an old Scrabble game and found one for $1 at a yard sale.  If you can’t find one secondhand, you can pick up a set of 100 Scrabble letters for $5 on Amazon.

This would be a fun project to do with your elementary and up age kids – have them see how many Christmas words they can think of and spell out with the letters. I wanted words that related to the Christmas story and these are the words I came up with.

There are several ways you can glue them together.  If you were having kids do it, I would use Elmer’s or wood glue and glue the letters onto a wood craft/popsicle stick.  You should be able to cut the popsicle stick with a strong pair of scissors to the length you need.   I couldn’t find my popsicle sticks so I opted to just glue the letters to each other using hot glue.  And then glued a piece of ribbon to the back to hang it with.  I did all of these in about 20 minutes.

Then hang them on the tree or even adorn a package with them!

I think these would be adorable on a small tree – they would show up and be even more prominent.`

Or even put them all on a wreath to make a statement.

I just love how they tell the Christmas story in simple little words.

Simple, easy, inexpensive and a fun family project!
