DIY Faux Wood Scrabble Tiles with Cricut Infusible Ink

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make DIY faux wood Scrabble tiles for home decor with your Cricut Joy. This project is easy to do with a few Cricut supplies and this free project file.

You guys know how much I enjoy working with Cricut's Infusible Ink; with Infusible Ink coasters being my speciality. For awhile now, I've been brainstorming other ways to use Cricut's blank coasters and Infusible Ink. Then, it dawned on me: why not make a sign?

I knew if I made a sign, I would want it to look like wood. So, I searched through Cricut's huge selection of Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets and found the perfect set: Distressed Rustic.

Next, I brainstormed ideas. I had some random Scrabble pieces for another project I'm working on and basically, that inspired this Faux Wood Scrabble Home Sign.

I chose the word Home because there's no place like it. Okay, that was cheesy – but seriously, who doesn't love the thought of HOME? I wanted this to be a good DIY gift idea for newlyweds or new homeowners. Plus, I liked the variety of numerical value for each letter.

As for the heart, I used an infinity sign for the value to not only represent never ending love in a home, but because it is a sentimental sign in my marriage.

How To Make Infusible Ink Faux Wood Scrabble Tiles Sign

1. You'll begin by following these instructions for making coasters with Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets.
2. Open Velcro Command Strips and apply each set to the back of each coaster vertically. Apply pressure to each.
3. Clean surface where you'd like the sign to go with alcohol prep pads.
4. Line Scrabble Tiles up and mark the left of the H tile so you know exactly where to put it on the wall.
5. When ready, apply each tile side by side, applying 20 seconds of pressure to each one.

Tips for the best results:

• You may want to move around the tiles a bit once on the wall to make them flush with one another.
• Be sure you're covering every piece of the coaster with the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet or you'll end up with a white line along the edge.
