It’s all about decking the halls this week!
I knew that I had to make an ornament this year because I already have boxes of holiday decor that I didn’t put up this year due to space and being busy. I have enough wreaths and pillows and advent calendars to decorate the White House. I am working on a Christmas quilt, but it’s still unfinished. And I didn’t want to make something to make something.
But, I knew that an ornament could easily be displayed on the tree and wouldn’t take up precious space in storage. And there have been so many cute ornaments floating around blogs and Pinterest that I was feeling inspired.
I went with a simple Scrabble ornament that was inspired by a bunch of ones I’ve seen on Pinterest. After gluing the letters on, I simply added a hook to hang it on the tree.
It was so simple, I also put a few more together for gift tag/ornaments.
This is extra simple, but that’s kind of the way of life in the Woodward household this Christmas.
Great idea! Speedy too. Would be a great for a couples’ first Christmas- spell out their name and date.
It’s so cute! You did a really nice job! I always like Scrabble letter crafts, but I’ve always wondered… Do craft stores carry Scrabble letters or must one purchase thrift store Scrabble sets and pilfer those letters?
I love me some Scrabble! I made a name plate for my desk at work using Scrabble tiles that looks a lot like this ornament. Maybe I will add some ribbon and hang it up!
I have so many Scrabble tiles and no current purpose for them…I love the idea of making a personalized ornament! Thanks for hosting, Kim! 🙂
You’ll be happy to know that somehow I totally missed seeing these on Pinterest. And that I love it. I want to make one because 1) we’re scrabblers and 2) I want to be just like you.
This is so cute- I love it. Did you raid your own Scrabble set or find a thrift store one? Such a great project. 🙂
What a great idea! I’ve not seen that before. My sister and her husband have a gameday every month with friends, what a great gift idea for each family.
What a fun idea! Thanks for the linky party too – although seeing so many great crafts is killing me. I need more hours in the day!
This is really cute! Can’t wait to see your trees this year!!!
I love it! And you know what? Sometimes simple is good. 🙂 I’m learning that too. I didn’t put out every single thing this year, and I’m glad b/c it means less to put away in January. 😉
Very cute, Kim! Love that the ornament reflects one of your hobbies! I may make this for a friend.
I’ve seen those scrabble decorations around blogland and think they are really cute. One day I just might make one too! Thanks for hosting the link party.
Cute! I love all the scrabble crafts I am seeing lately. I need to go get a couple cheap sets and try it out. Thanks again for the party!!
Cute! Cute! I really like how simple and cute this is.
Cute ornament!! Makes me want to bust out the Scrabble board and beat Nate.
that’s so cute!! i think yours is waaaay better than some of the ones i’ve seen around. nice job! this makes me want to make more ornaments! (not that we need more!)
I was just looking at Scrabble tile ideas on Pinterest today! I love how your ornament came out. Nicely done 🙂
What a great idea! I hadn’t seen anything like this yet. Love the idea of using it as a gift tag too!
I love this! I also love that you didn’t feel pressure to make something big (wreath, pillow etc…) for the blog that you didn’t actually need/want. I don’t know about you but sometimes blogging makes me feel like I constantly have to add, add, add when it just isn’t necessary. Love the ornament though!!
