Love You Frame

Another Pinterest find- the "Love You" frame with Scrabble letters. As an avid Scrabble player, I fell in love with this frame and decided I had to make one for myself.

Here's what you'll need:

Scrabble letters
1 shadowbox frame
hot glue gun
flat-head screwdriver
paint (optional)
hammer and tiny nails

I bought my shadow box frame at the Dollar Store for $2. It looked like this when I bought it:

I used a flat-head screwdriver to pry of the back of the frame and peeled off the bathtub paper that was originally in the frame.

I used turquoise paint (3 coats) for my background color, but you can always leave the background plain, or paint it whatever color you prefer.

I bought a complete set of Scrabble letters off of Ebay for $7. There were also sellers that sold individual letters, but I opted for a whole set in case I ever need random letters in the future. :)

After the paint was dry, I arranged the letters and used a pencil to lightly trace the outline of where they needed to be glued.

Finally it was glue time.

Once the letters were glued on, I put the board back in the frame and hammered it back in place with some tiny nails. 

I have to admit, the finished product isn't perfect. Luckily, I have an extra frame and the extra letters. Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with outcome and I definitely plan on making another!
