Scrabble Clock

High Scores with a Scrabble Clock

I'll let the clock speak for itself, but I think spelling out the numbers is crucial and I also like how they are randomly placed around the game board.

Here's how to make it:

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Scrabble Game Board
  • Scrabble Tile
  • Clock
  • Adhesive
  • Drill

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    First drill a hole through the center star, when you look at the board, you'll notice it's off center, but I think the star is the place to drill!

  2. 2

    In order for the board not to fold over onto itself, the back should be braced with a two small wooden rulers. Use wood glue to attach the two pieces, so they cross the middle fold

  3. 3

    See the fold: You want to prevent this from moving.

  4. 4

    Now use the same wood glue to attach the tiles, use the glue sparingly and quickly remove any glue that seeps from underneath the tile.

  5. 5

    Place several heavy books over the top of the tiles, to weight them in place, allow the tiles to dry in place for several hours and perhaps overnight.

  6. 6

    Once dry, insert the clock mechanism, assemble the clock and hang that baby!

  7. 7

    Finished project, I guess you could also use different words in place of the numbers, as long as they are in the same location.

    Happy National Craft Month!
