3. ​Using a ball point pen, trace Scrabble letter on center of each board, pressing firmly through paper to leave imprint on wood. **Make sure letter “E” goes on board with only 2 holes in top.

4. Color in Scrabble letters with black marker.

5. Stain all boards

​6. Once stain is dry, thread 6” pieces of wire through the bottom of board “L” and the top of board “O” so that approx. 2” of wire sticks up on the front side of the board.

7. Wrap excess wire around itself. A pair of needle nose pliers can be helpful to bend the end of the wire in so as not to leave a pokey tail!

8. Repeat with remaining boards.
