Scrabble - It's On!

My boyfriend and I love to play board games. Board games of any kind! We have quite a large collection but some I refuse to play (he beats me every time!). So I decided to make one of those awesome magnetic scrabble games I keep seeing on pinterest. 

I bought an old scrabble game at Value Village for just $2.99 and decided I would glue the board onto a magnetic white board - well the board was way to heavy and wouldn't hold - even with gorilla glue! So I took another route. I used a piece of 12x12 cardstock and drew my own board based on the actually board. 

I glued this onto the magnetic white board I bought a Staples. I decided to go with a white board because it was already magnetic instead of a chalk board (although I liked the look of the chalk as well). 

I found the two black hangers at Michaels in the wood section - I painted them black and added the numbers. I also found the bag to hold the tiles at Michaels as well. The clips came with the board.

I glued a strip of magnet on the back of each tile with gorilla glue (these held great). 

Now this awesome game hangs in my hallway and we are constantly adding words (and yes he is beating me!)
