How to make a scrabble tile necklace
Trace around the outside of your tile on the decorative paper you wish to use. Carefully cut it out using the craft knife.
Coat the tile with a thin layer of Mod Podge and attach the paper. Carefully trim any overhanging paper from around the tile using your craft knife or other tool of your choice. If you are using a Scrabble tile or other game piece, attach the paper to the plain side of the tile. Allow Mod Podge to dry.
Coat the top of the paper with Mod Podge and allow to dry. This will seal the paper and keep it from discoloring when you add the glaze.
Place a few drops of Diamond Glaze in the center of the tile on the paper. Spread it around to the edges, adding more Diamond Glaze a drop at a time until the front of the tile is covered with glaze. Allow the glaze to dry completely.
Glue the necklace bail to the top center of the back of the tile pendant and string on a chain. Your tile necklace is now ready to wear.
