Sasha Andreev shows Joan Steffend how to make great home accessories out of game pieces.

Frames and Domino Coasters

All About

Product Ideas

More Product Ideas

Hot glue is used to embellish plain picture frames with dominos and Scrabble pieces. Drink coasters are fashioned by hot-gluing dominos onto balsa wood.

Checker Coasters

Checkers are glued onto balsa wood to make a gametime drink coaster. A little paint is used on the balsa wood to fill in the gaps.

Chess Tumblers

Self-adhesive paper is cut into chess-piece shaped pieces to create stencils. The stencils are adhered to tumblers and then etching cream is applied to create the etched-glass images.

Chess Swizzle Sticks

Fun, chess-themed swizzle sticks are made by attaching chess pieces to the top of pipette tubing.

Wall Hanging

A decorative sign or wall hanging can also be made by attaching Scrabble pieces onto a piece of old barn board using hot glue.
