Etsy truly is the place to find the most unique and amazing handcrafted goodness at unbelievable prices. One awesome find are these recycled scrabble tiles from Vanity Design.

The quarter-inch square scrabble tiles have been decorated with paper cutouts of various designs including pop culture icons (Sid Vicious, Marilyn Monroe, Munsters), geekery (such as the lovely I HEART DORKS tile), art and some general weirdness. A coating of clear, non-toxic resin are applied to both protect the piece and give it a glossy appearance. A silver-plated bail measuring about 6 mm has been added to allow it to be used as pendant or a decorative item.

The items are only selling for $5 each and 3 for $10. I think it’s a steal of a price for what are really, really cool pieces. Some of my favorites from the varied and ever growing set include:

I Heart Dorks

The aforementioned I Heart Dorks tile. Not sure why I love it, I just do. Probably cause I’m so sick of all the I HEART NERDS and I HEART GEEKS designs every place I look.

The Ouija Board

The Ouija Board design is wicked cool. While you aren’t likely to be able to summon spirits on a board this size, maybe someone will possess you all on their own accord.

Disco Groovy Kitschy

I don’t get the appropriateness of the name but this is one hot illustration. The colors, the lines and the fit on the tile are just perfect.
