It’d be great in a gameroom, bedroom or even a family room. And this doesn’t have to be just for a nursery. He’s a smart one!Īnd that’s it–it’s really easy and SUPER cute. That was a time saver because you can hang up several letters at once instead of individually. :)Īnd once the 1st piece of velcro was on the wall, then he would attach 1 long piece of the other piece of velcro stuff on the back of the letters that were going to be hung. Remember when he hung up our gallery wall in the living room? Yea, it was like that again but this time way easier. My brilliant and OCD husband hung them up for me. You need to find another method even if it takes 50 million nail holes in the wall. The velcro lasted a few months with no problems, but a few of them have just fell down probably from temperature changes, so hanging with velcro is not recommended. *EDITED – DO NOT USE VELCRO TO HANG THIS. But let me warn you–if you are worried about taking the paint off the wall when you remove it, don’t use velcro.

Finally, with my husband’s help, we figured an industrial strength velcro (which we already had) could maybe do the job, and it sure did! It worked perfectly and the tiles hang all straight. Got it? :) And the font I used for the letters is Arial Rounded.įiguring out how to hang my puzzle on the wall was a little puzzling. So however many E’s I had, I printed out that many elephants at once. So for my D I had a dog, E for elephant etc. If you notice on the puzzle from Posh Tots, they had an image that corresponded with the letter so I did the same thing because I liked the idea. Please know this part will be very time consuming. Then I used my Silhouette machine and cut the vinyl letters and my images out and put on my tiles. I decided for each square to be 8×8 in size so they cut me several squares (however many I needed for my puzzle). Then have the guys at Home Depot cut your “tiles” or squares. I chose a select pine board called Radiata Pine. Remember you are trying to get the look of Scrabble tiles which are very smooth and light colored. Then go to Home Depot and pick out a nice wood–you don’t want to go cheap on this part because you want the wood to look nice, and not have a lot of knots. So figure out a layout with your puzzle until you find one that works, then measure the wall it’s going on. :) And I probably will build off of the other letters in the future too but for now I just wanted the meaning of her name up there. She has a good name huh? The only one that’s not is “love” but I just added that one.

Let me first say that the words in this crossword puzzle are the meaning of Ellie’s name. And if it’s ok to say this, I think I even like my version better that only cost $63. Immediately when I saw the price I knew it could be DIY’d for MUCH cheaper, so that is where my inspiration came from. And I love it even more because when I was searching online a few months ago for baby bedding, I came across this site and this same thing was selling for $500!!! Yes, $500! I’m in love! It’s one of many projects I need to do in her room, but I’m off to a good start. Ha! But anyway, as the title of my post says, here’s the Scrabble Tile Wall Art I created for Ellie’s nursery. Hey hey! I’m SO excited about this project! And I have to say it felt awesome to be creative and crafty again.
