(The number 1 value does look better in Futura Bold, but the rest of the numbers were Franklin Gothic) If you need to look online to see the fonts or to look up the number values of Scrabble tiles check this out. I read online that the font for Scrabble tiles is Futura Bold, but when I compared it to Franklin Gothic, I found the second to be a closer match. While your tiles are drying, and if you have a Silhouette or Cricut cutting machine, you can size and cut your letters out. The tiles need to be relatively light so that the letters and numbers on the face will stand out, so one coat of stain was enough and I wiped them as clean as I could. I applied a coat of Minwax Special Walnut and then wiped the excess off within about 5 minutes. I gave each tile a sanding at 80 grit and a second sanding at 120 grit, adding a small beveled edge to each side using my (favourite) sander. A 1×6 will give you a 5.5″ tile, so I had enough leeway to cut each tile down to get my 4.5″ with some nice sharp edges (store lumber is usually rounded and not as crisp as you want these to look). Using a 1×6 at 8 feet long, I was able to get 25 tiles from a board and a half. Rita asked that I shrink them down a bit, so I cut 4.5″ squares instead. The first plans I sent Rita had each DIY Scrabble tile at 6″ square – but given the length of the names involved, that amounted to more wall space than was available. Step one of the project was to get all of the names she wanted done in scrabble tiles and then to lay them out – either by cutting up pieces of paper to size, or by using Sketchup Make (which is free, but has a slight learning curve) to figure out how to make it all fit within her wall space. My friend Rita sent me a photo of a gallery wall that she fell in love with and asked if it was something I could replicate for her – so I decided to break down the wall into steps to show you how you can create great decor pieces on a smaller scale.įirst up the inspiration photo – I’m sorry, I don’t know where it came from to give the originator credit: You may opt out of the use of this processīy visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.I’ve recently realized that my projects of late are big.īig DIY projects generate a lot more Pinterest traffic to my site, but they also take a lot more time and money to make.Īnd how many coffee tables does one family need really?
