Decorative Blocks!

I LOVE making these blocks!!

Thanks to a Martha Stewart show that showcased

some great Etsy crafters....

I learned how to make decorative blocks!

Style 1

Style 2
Great for all occasions!
Now for my quick tutorial on how to make them...
First, have your handyman cut wood for you
I bought 4 different sizes of wood from Lowes and had
the mister cut them in different lengths

Really all that you need:

wood, paint, whatever stickers you want,

scrapbook paper if you desire, mod podge

Paint all sides of the wood.

I like to put two coats on .

Little tip...if you are covering your blocks with scrapbook paper

you can do a "quick" paint job and usually get away with one coat!

I prefer to sand the edges. Not only does it

give a rough, vintage, antique look it also

is great to cover-up any flaws :)

Add your stickers and cover with a coat of mod podge.

I love block letters...they can be arranged in so many ways!
