This month our church enrichment group made these great HOME blocks, they were really easy, that is the only kind of project I like to do, and they were fun do to as well. We each had 4 cubes that were 4x4x4″ cut from an 8ft length of wood. I think we ended up doing 20 sets, anyway, we just sanded down the wood then painted the blocks whatever color we wanted to use then picked out scrapbook paper of our choice and cut 4 squares of different scrapbook paper, the squares of paper were cut just a little smaller than the 4×4″ side of the block. Next we Modge Podged the paper onto one side of each block. (We are only decorating one side) After the paper was in place we placed the letters on the blocks, if you look close on the pictures you can see the large letters spell HOME, then there is also smaller letters that spell out the saying “Where your story begins” but you can use any saying you like. These letters were all cut out using the Cricut (Chandler Creations now carries a great new product to store your Cricut, take a look below) sorry, back to the blocks, after all the letters are in place we just used our creativity and added embellishments to blocks to match our tastes and home decor. After the blocks were all done, we sanded the edges just lightly so the wood shown through, most everyone liked this finish but some left their edges with the paint on. These are great photo blocks too, just glue on your photos on all sides or just one or two.
Here is a picture of the new TuckAway storage table for your Cricut, or printer or craft tools, it is pretty cool
