need to find a way to make the scrabble board edges rougher/more used to fit onto a serving tray. Ideas 4 edge
I am using our old scrabble board and tiles and putting them in a wood serving tray with clear sealer over them and serve food and drinks when we play games but right now the game board is to big around the edges and I need a way to make it fit by 1/8 to 1/2 an inch but have not come up with a way to make the scrabble board look used but still good. I was thinking sandpapper but am not sure if this would be a wast of time. I am not a big craft person so I need help. Thanks
We have a scrabble board that we have kept for at least 10 years and it has been played on quite extensively. There are no visible marks / scratchs on it. The reason I mention this is that I’m not sure if making it ‘look used’ is necessary as they don’t normally wear that way.
Don’t get me wrong here, I think your idea is supper cool and understand the look your going for. I’m just think that the ‘worn look’ is probably ‘not the norm’ and that a good clean board underneith may be more appealing.
Now.. for the edges. Shaving a bit off is probably best done with a ‘box cutter’. I would suggest you invest about $5 in a strong metal cutter sold at Lowes and Home Depot for sheet rock work. These cutters use standard cutting blades and designed for a good grip an a straight cut. Use this to cut your edges down. Draw a line where you want to make the cut first.
I’m pretty sure you are not going to get a clean straight cut so I would also suggest you find something to ‘trim out’ the edges with. This could be a thin piece of wood or even some macreme’ (sp?) twine glued around the edges. This will cover the little imperfections in the cuts.
Good luck with the great idea!
