I know spring is kind of far off, but for Craft Night this month we made some Spring Blocks. I love how they turned out!
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.
Step 5: While your mod podge is drying, cut out your letters. These are the sizes I used. The font is Alphalicious (cricut machine)
S: 5 3/4"
P: 3 3/4"
R: 6 3/4"
I: 3"
N: 4"
G: 3"
Step 6: Mod podge your letters on the front of your blocks.
Step 7: Add any embellishments and ribbon that you like! If you want to make paper flowers you can find my tutorial here.
You're Done!
I hope you like it! here are some of the ladies making their blocks!

I love love love these! I do have a question though. For those of us who do not have a cricut but love the look of your blocks, would you consider making the vinyl and selling it to us?
Thanks Shannon, I actually didn't use vinyl, i just used card stock to do this! I haven't thought about selling it, but what i did think of is you could use letter stickers, or even chipboard letters or I konw there are a lot of local craft stores that have die cutting machines that you can use at a very low cost! I hope this helps!! :)
LOVE these! Such fun colors!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! THese are SO cute! Made them today and realized that if you want to make them double sided then you can flip the blocks around and have the other side say E-A-S-T-E-R. 2 for 1 craft!
