Upcycled Gameboards

As usual, I love recycling and turning things into un-expecting things, I also love games, so what better than to combine the two and recycle old game boards and pieces into functional items that have the familiar features from board games (boards, cards or pieces). All those incomplete games in op shops need rescuing.. Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Cluedo, Trouble, Twister, Skip Bo, Dominos, Boggle, Dice... They can easily look tacky but there also are some great items!! Just gotta find some unwanted games now..

Monopoly board coasters- this could be done with all sorts of board games..

Scrabble board coasters

My own Scrabble coasters

Monopoly board notepads- could be made from any board game
