While I have never made a scrabble tile pendant or seen one made, there is a proliferation of them on etsy. They must not be too difficult to make.
Stay right there while I go find out how...
...ok I'm back. Here goes:
Step 1. Find a Scrabble tile
Step 2. Find a decorative piece of paper, and cut it just larger than the tile.
Step 3. Glue the paper to the Scrabble tile, making sure to squeeze out all the air bubbles.
Step 4. Once dry, turn the Scrabble tile paper-side down, and use a craft knife or exacto knife to trim the excess paper.
Step 5. Apply a layer of glue to seal the tile, and let dry.
Step 6. Use a non-toxic Diamond Glaze or 3D Crystal Lacquer, or an Epoxy Resin, such as Enviro-tex or Colores Resin to give it the shiny clear coating.
Step 7. Either carefully drill a hole in the tile to fit a jump-ring through it, or attach a clasp, bail or other jewellery fixture to your tile to turn it into a pendant for a necklace.
For much more detailed instructions, I found an excellent and informative blog entry here.
