Family Block

I was in Ohio last week, and my parents have torn out a wall in one of their bedrooms therefore leaving a ton of 2x4's just sitting in the garage! Couldn't let those go to waste...so me and my sister decided to make some blocks. We made them just like I did the "Boo Blocks." Cut out your scrapbook paper to fit the blocks (layers as many as you like-we used just 2), mod podge them on, add your letters (we used a Circut, but you can print off computer, hand-cut, whatever). Then antique or destress the edges. I glued my together so they are one big block but you don't have to do that. Here's a pic--thought it turned out super cute! Shellee, post yours so we can see them too!

Countdown blocks...

First saw this cute and easy project HERE 

supplies: 2x4, 4x4, spray paint, modge podge, scrapbook paper, fingernail file

I used 2x4 for the bottom 8" in length and 2 4x4 blocks 4" wide

sand, and round edges to your liking

than spray paint with whatever color you like...can make specific for a holiday

Block numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5

                            0,1,2,6,7,8

use a font that is easy to read so that you can use your 6 as a 9

Cut scrapbook paper smaller than blocks

I used a cricut to cut out my numbers and countdown letters

Use rough fingernail file to destress the edges of the paper and numbers

Modge Podge the paper to the block, let dry

Than modge podge numbers on and over every side of the blocks

I used 2 different kinds of paper but you can use as many as you would like

I also put  the word 'countdown' on one side for an actual countdown

and the other side is blank so I can use it for a calendar

Enjoy....HAPPY CRAFTING
