Alphabet tile coasters are one of the many cool things you can make with wooden alphabet tiles. It is a very simple project. Customizable, creative and great for gifting!
First choose five, 5 letter words you would like your coaster to display. I'm using wedding themed words in this tutorial. BRIDE, PEACE, YOUME, GROOM, HAPPY
Use E6000 to glue your letters together line by line.
Cut your corkboard into a 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" square. The total size of the coaster is 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" but I like to leave a little bit of room at the edges as you'll see in the photos. (3 1/2" x 3 1/2" also works well, whatever you prefer)
Your finished coaster will look something like this!
Make a set of coasters and tie them with a pretty ribbon. They're so much fun to personalize for the one you love (or even just like :0) and give them away.
You can also use Wooden Letterpress Alphabet Tiles to make an irregular shaped coaster. It's really fun and a great twist on the traditional scrabble tile coaster look.
