Photo, Poem, and Scrabble Frame - finished project I used to have a gentleman friend when I lived in San Diego, California. I was just 21 so this would have been in 19.. Never mind!

We lost touch. But before we did, I had the extreme honor to have a poem written for me by this lovely man.

Total Time: About 1 hour

Yield: 1

Source: I have seen some like this on Pinterest.

Supplies:

frame with one large glass or with several smaller ones. ($1.00)
poem copy ($0.00)
Multiple Scrabble tiles ($.01 each)
1 or more photos ($.05)
1/2 oz glue ($.25)
scissors ($0.00)
scanner and paper ($0.00)
6 in tape ($.01)

Steps:

Choose the frame, photo(s), and poem you want to display. Copy the photo and the frame. You don't want to take a chance on the glass hurting the originals.

Photo, Poem, and Scrabble Frame - choose photos and frame. Make copies of poem and photo to preserve originals.

Tape the poem and photo copy to the backing. I then put the front of the original stock photos upside down as backing. So the fake photo sheet is now upside down so you have a nice white background.

I then chose my tiles and arranged them kind of like they were leaning on each other. The city I wanted straight. This is outside on the glass. I put a small spot of glue on the tile, knowing they can ooze some when they are pressed down.

This poem and his photo mean so much to me, I wanted to stop keeping them safe and display them. This way I can do both. I hope this inspires someone to make something fun with the scrabble tiles. And you can get them in colors and originals on Amazon. N-JOY!!
