    Spring Blocks with Tutorial





    Spring Blocks 100_4006


    Spring Blocks 100_4024



    Here is the tutorial!


    Supplies Needed


    6 wood blocks, differing in sizes.
    6 coordinating pieces of scrapbook paper
    2 sheets of lighter color scrapbook paper for your letters. I just used white.
    Paint
    Mod Podge
    Buttons
    Ribbon
    Hot Glue


    Step 1: Cut out your blocks and sand them.

    S: 9 x 5 1/2"
    P: 6 x 3 1/2"
    R: 7 x 5 1/2"
    I: 3 1/4 x 4"
    N: 5 x 3 1/2"
    G: 4 1/2 x 3 1 /4"


    Step 2: Paint your blocks. For these blocks I used antique white. I like it because it isn't stark white and it has a little bit of a yellow undertone.

    Step 3: While your blocks are drying, cut out your paper to fit the size of each of your blocks.
    these are the sizes of paper for my blocks

    Step 4: After your blocks are dry, apply a thin layer of mod podge to the FRONT of your blocks and apply your paper. Make sure you flatten it out really well so you don't get any bubbles.
