Frames and Domino Coasters

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.
