Make Art with Vintage Game Pieces

Games and special toys don’t have to be stored away in neatly stacked boxes. Enjoy your memories everyday by recreating those pieces into wall art.

I was inspired by an old Anagrams game and wooden blocks to make personalized art for our family. The little letters on the vintage tiles seemed just so perfect to create a word puzzle to express our family’s mojo.

After I made the word puzzle pattern with the game pieces and toys, I measured and cut a board to length. Then I used a paint technique to give the board a vintage look.

Instead of using glue or another type of adhesive, I chose a tile mat adhesive called Bondera. While it’s made for tile, it’s really perfect for crafting projects. I’m able to place the pieces on the board and manipulate them to their exact location before firmly pressing the pieces into the adhesive so they are permanently afixed.

The tile mat adhesive gives me a extra time in layout. And no matter what I’m doing, a little extra time always helps.
