Games People Played - Scrabble Bulletin Board
As part of my Games People Played series I've created Scrabble Tile Push Pins and Gameboard Bulletin Boards from discarded games. Most gameboards are made of a pressed cardboard and are ideal to use as a bulletin board - so get out there and experiment!

Don't have a Scrabble board? Scout out your neighborhood thrift store.

Step 1
Drilling holes into the corners of the board will make it easier to nail to the wall. Drill holes slightly smaller than the nails you will use:
Step 2
With a piece of sandpaper, scuff up the back of each tile and epoxy metal thumbtacks to the back:
Step 3
This is what they should look like when you're done, be sure the tack is "embedded" into the epoxy:
Step 4
When the epoxy has cured (overnight) nail your board to the wall and tack away:

this is awesome

i might use our old monopoly board...
that would work wouldn't it? i'd just have to glue the houses and hotels to the tacks... it'll work

Would this work if I simply superglued the tacks to the tiles? The Scrabble game I have has plastic tiles, but I really, really want to do this. It looks absolutely fantastic!
