There is something so magical about Christmas trees. Nothing puts me in a cozy, happy, holiday spirit more then seeing the first one of the season.
Between that amazing pine smell and the big fluffy bows, they're just so naturally pretty. But we all know what makes every festive tree beautiful are the ornaments and lights that adorn it.
Every household has their individual way of decorating with their own little nostalgic set of ornaments.
And if you're anything like my family, we love buying a few new ornaments every year to add to our immense collection of feathers, orbs, and flowers for the tree.
Christmas tree time is also a great excuse to break out your supplies and get crafty — especially if you have little ones in your home!
One of the easiest and most creative crafting materials that can be used all year round is scrabble tiles.
They are so cute, contain the entire alphabet, and add a bit of a vintage flair to a project.
You can easily take the tiles and make them winter themed with fun phrases like “Let It Snow” and “Happy Holidays.”
And with a little ribbon tacked onto the back, they can be topped on your tree.
Our little ornament utilizes both Scrabble tiles and another winter craft commodity: snow texture paint.
This cool paint can be pressed onto anything to look like a fresh little pile of snow — perfect for DIY Christmas ornaments.
Check below to see how to construct these adorable Scrabble Christmas ornaments.
1. Gather your materials. Pick out the Scrabble tiles to spell "Let It Snow."
2. Hot glue the Scrabble tiles.
3. Dot glue on the tops of the tiles and sprinkle fake snow.
Add as much or as little as you like. I did a few layers to make it really look like the snow was piling up on the tiles. Let dry.
4. Add ribbon so you can hang from the tree.
How cute is the final product?!
I love this ornament, and it is so easy to make that even get the kids or grandkids involved. (Just make sure there's adult supervision if you're using a hot glue gun.)
Since these barely take any time to make, get creative with it. Use phrases like:
- Peace on Earth
- Happy Holidays
- Merry Christmas
- Joy To The World
- Naughty Or Nice
- Jingle All The Way
