Scrabble Tile Pendants are charming pendants made from recycled scrabble tiles and decorative paper. They are fun and easy to make. You can see a variety of these charming pendants for sale in my Etsy shop, Peachy Pendants, (where you can also purchase A Make Your Own Scrabble Tile Pendants Kit), or you can follow the instructions below and make one of your own!

I will also be giving away a free Scrabble Tile Pendant to one lucky Craft Tutorials reader. For a chance to win, leave a comment on this post by Saturday, September 20th at midnight. One winner will be randomly selected and announced on Monday, September 22nd. The winner will get one free pendant of their choice from my shop.
Good luck and happy pendant making!
To begin making your own Scrabble Tile Pendant you will need the following supplies:
- Scrabble Tile (from an old game or eBay)
- Silver Plated Bail (called aanraku bail)
- Decorative Paper (scrapbooking paper)
- Diamond Glaze (craft store)
- E6000 Jewelry Adhesive (craft store)
- Scissors
- Pen or Pencil
- Paint Brush (optional)

Step 1: Select the paper you would like to use for your pendant. You could use scrapbook paper, wrapping paper, or even a greeting card. Simply trace around one of the Scrabble tiles and cut out, making sure to cut the paper just slightly larger than the tile.
Step 2: Next spread a small drop of Diamond Glaze adhesive onto the blank side of a Scrabble tile. You can use a paint brush or just spread the glaze around with the tip of the bottle. Then place your cut out paper onto the tile. (Make sure the letter on the back isn’t upside down.) Let it dry for 10 to 20 minutes.

Step 3: Once the adhesive is dry, hold the Scrabble tile so the letter faces you and the paper is on the other side. Use scissors to carefully trim the excess paper off so that the paper fits the tile exactly.
Step 4: Next, apply a generous coat of Diamond Glaze to seal the paper and give your pendant a glossy glass like shine. It’s best not to use a paint brush for this step but to just spread the glaze with the tip of the bottle. If any bubbles form just pop them with the back of your paint brush or slide them off of the tile. Now let it dry for at least 4 hours.
Step 5: Apply a few drops of E6000 Jewelry Adhesive to the silver bail and attach it to the back (letter side) of your Scrabble tile. Make sure that the bail is exactly centered.
Let the bail dry for a couple of hours and you are ready to enjoy your handmade Scrabble Tile Pendant!

I absolutely love SCRABBLE so when I came across what you do with the tiles, I was thinking how clever you are in making pendants out of them! Of course, we have tons of extra tiles in my house, but only because the spares may come in handy in case we misplace a letter or two. What a creative idea this is!!
I love the pendants!! and what a great prize it makes
I have my fingers crossed!
Beautiful. Off to find some aanraku bails now! Thanks!
I have BAGS of those tiles, now I can use ‘em HA! thanks
I love the pendants. What a great idea.
I have been trying to figure out how to get the bail on harder solid materials for the longest time.
Now I know! E6000.

I just ordered some Scrabble tile pendants from elsewhere (if I had found you first, of course…) and love them and thought, I’d like to make these for gifts. So I’ve been searching how to make them (ie what kind of glaze and glue?) and voila! Your tutorial. Thanks SO much for the info. I’ve tagged your etsy store for future purchases, as I doubt I’ll fit too much pendant-making myself in my days. (my etsy store sells cookie kits). thank you! You do great work.
