Custom Scrabble tile bracelet

One of my friends wanted me to try and make a charms bracelet for her to give as a shower gift so I started experimenting.  I tried making the holes through the tiles to run the elastic thread but alas I am NOT handy with juggling the drill and holding down the small tile.  So I decided to attach a hook and then put some split rings and attach the tile charms to the bracelet chain.  Now my friend wanted the letters to spell out a saying but in reality I collect these tile pieces through the thrift stores, garage sales, friends giving me their old game sets etc so I cannot be sure to have all the letters to spell anything cohherent (it might end up like my bad spelling!)



After making this I was thinking that it would be nice if the bracelet owner was able to switch the scrabble tile charms whenever they wanted.  So I decided to test out a tile with a small lobster claw clasp.
let me know your thoughts and ideas.  I think I am going to first list this on my own site www.jubilantwares.com
