Christmas Countdown Blocks

I finally finished my first set of Christmas Countdown Blocks.  Each block is 3″ x 3″ and sit on a six inch 2″ x 4″ block.  Each side of the block has a different piece of Christmas patterned paper on it.  I added snowflakes and gems to each side as well.  In the evening the lighting makes the gems sparkle. I can’t wait to put these blocks up on my mantle at Christmas.  I know my kids are going to love flipping them each day.  I might make a set for my front entrance shelf as well, or perhaps for the rec. room downstairs!  I guess it is...

New Harvest Blocks

Well my fireplace mantle has been decorated and I’m just about ready for Thanksgiving.  I put up a bunch of leafy garland that I bought at Michaels and added my HARVEST blocks that I made a couple of weeks ago.  I painted these blocks brown and added patterned paper to each one in fall colors.  A couple of little pumpkins finished off the decorations!  I would still like to make something for my front entrance as well, like maybe a Give Thanks board, or something like that.  Maybe I’ll get to do that before the...

Hallowe’en Countdown Blocks

I just finished my Hallowe’en countdown blocks!  This is such a cute project.  I made them on 3″ x 3″ square blocks of wood, with a 2″ x 4″ for the bottom block.  Each side has been covered in a different pattern of Hallowe’en paper, and each side has a number on it.  The blocks were painted black and have been sealed with mod podge and varnish.  This is a fun wood project for halloween and kids will love flipping the blocks each day until then!  I’m going to be selling a Countdown Blocks Kit soon which will be great for any...

Wood Shapes

I thought I would post a photo of a set of hedgehogs I made a while back.  I cut these hedgehogs out of 1″ mdf wood and added paper to the body with mod podge.  The eyes, toes, and the spots on the back have little gems on them, which reflect really nicely in the light.  I added a little pink bow to their ears to make them more girly looking.  Of course, these would be great in a boys room as well if done in other colors.  They can sit on a shelf, have a hook added to the back for hanging, or be attached to my bookends which are also for sale.  I sell these...

Black and White Bookends Kit

I just finished a new set of bookends to showcase with my bookends kits.  I did this set with two different black and white paper designs, which were mod podged onto each letter.  I then painted black polka dots on to each end and added black paper flowers, which were cut out with my cuttlebug machine and glued on with mod podge.  Paper flowers were added to each letter as well with a fun little nail tack. These bookend kits can be decorated any way you like.  You’ll get a pair of unpainted wood bookends, any two unpainted wood letters, paper letters which will...
