Summer blocks

We can’t totally claim rights to these fun blocks. A darling friend, Kristen, from church takes the award for creativity…dontcha just adore the banner on the “S” – it matches the background on the first “M”…such cute details. Anyway, we provided vinyl for this project at our church craft night and wanted to share the ♥ with you.

This is a super easy tutorial, even a beginner crafter can handle it as the pics are pretty self-explanitory (:

D-I-Y Summer blocks:

Supplies:

*2×4 piece of wood
*scrapbook paper
*ribbon & twine
*Mod Podge
*vinyl letters
*sticky dots + foam sticky dots

Directions:

6: For “S” banner: cut 3 small circles from scrapbook paper, fold them in half. Put foam sticky dots on the top edge of wood & push the half circle in place. Then put sticky dot inside half circle so it stays closed.
