How to make a scrabble tile ring

Today, we are going to make Scrabble tile rings! I know that you have seen the scrabble tile necklaces and bracelets - so cute... now we are going to add a ring!

Here is what you will need:
A scrabble tile (I got mine from This Etsy shop and they are wonderful!)
Scrapbook paper
Elastic cord
Craft glue
Hot glue
Paper glaze
Scissors or X-acto knife

To help pick out your paper square you can make a "tile viewer" Just cut out a tile size square out of a piece of scrap paper

and use it to put over your paper to decide what design you want on your ring... do I want this brown and cream OR this brown leaf... hmmmmmm choices choices! (BTW the "tile viewer" is not my idea it it came from Make and Takes,I think that it is BRILLIANT!)

Ok, now that you have pick out what you want on your tile, cut out the square piece of paper

Using your craft glue adhere it to your tile. Let the glue dry for a few minutes.

Using your paper glaze spread on an even layer over the whole top of the tile. Let dry (mine took about an hour and a half.)

Cut off a piece of elastic cord about 3-4 inches long

Tie a a loop that will fit around your figure and cut off the excess cord.

Hot glue the elastic cord to the tile where the knot is

Wear with pride! I think I may attach a piece of felt on the back of the ring so that the knot does not bug me as much... I am so sensitive when it come to these things!
