Each month, I host an event so asssist my clients in Making Something Meaningful. We always kick off with a beginners class and then offer something tactile. For May, the class was the uber cute Family Blocks. Each guest received the wooden blocks for free! You know you wish you had come! Check the Make Something Event page for details about the next event!
Step 1
Customize your family blocks at my website.
Shameless plug, I know, but there it is.

Step 2Cut and trim each letter to fit.
Step 3Prepare your 1x3 Pine board by cutting into (3) four inch and (3) 4 1/2 blocks.
You will also need a glue stick, a brush and modge podge for the next steps.
Step 4Apply glue liberally to the wood, postition and adhere each letter as shown. Use a gift card or another block of wood to "burnish" the paper to the wood. This will smooth out any bumps or air bubbles. Repeat for each letter.
Step 5Use a brush to apply Modge Podge from top to bottom to the blocks. This wil seal your project and protect it. Repeat for each letter. After it dries, then apply Modge Podge again from left to right on the blocks. This will create a cross hatch line effect and make it look like canvas.
Creative Tip: Paint your blocks of wood ahead of time to match the prints.
I love this! only a few dollars for the cost of the scrapbook page of lettering in Heritage Makers, and what a treasure it is! Who wouldn't want to make them!
