Spring Blocks

I love spring!

Last year, when I was doing Craft Night we made these blocks.

I finally just got mine out of our storage and was so excited to put them up again this year!

They were so much fun to make and I really love how mine turned out!

So I thought I would repost the tutorial, incase anyone missed out last year.

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!

Thrift Store Cake Pedestal for Spring

Yesterday I stopped by my local thrift store and found a few great things.  

Two of which are pictured below.  A glass plate and a glass sundae dish.  

I have seen cake pedestals everywhere lately, and decided that these dishes would work perfect!

BEFORE

 AFTER

I just glued the plate to the glass and added a ribbon bundle and then hot glued a button in the middle.

So simple and fun for spring!

Bunny Ear Candy Dishes

A few weeks ago, I got to spend the weekend with all of my sisters and my mom.  It was so much fun.  We had a fun weekend of eating and crafting.  :) 

My mom thought of a cute and simple Easter craft to make and this is how mine turned out.  

We just made some simple clay pot candy dishes and put some shabby bunny ears on them.  

So simple and easy to make!  

This would be a great craft to make with the kids. 

I am so ready for spring! I can't wait to get out all my Spring decor.  

"Grow" Flowers Frame

If you weren't able to check out my tutorial on Someday Crafts last week, here it is! :)

Today I am going to show you how to make a simple frame for a little girl's room. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and I am slowly starting to decorate her room. I am doing this one small project at at time and this project is so perfect for her room! It is so simple and cute and would be great on a shelf or dresser!

Okay, let's get started:

Supplies Needed

1 4 x 6 wood frame

Paint

mod podge

hot glue

Scrapbooking paper

buttons

ribbon

Step 1: paint your frame.

Step 2: While your frame is drying, take the chipboard piece out. This is what we are going to mod podge everything to. Cut out a 4 x 6 piece of paper to fit the piece of chip board.

Step 3: Mod podge your piece of paper on the chip board.

Step 4: While your mod podge and paint is still drying, make some paper flowers. You will need a total of six for this project.

Step 5: cut out the word "grow" (or any other word you prefer) Mine is 1" tall and is from the cricut cartridge "home accents"

Step 6: Cut out a small piece of coordinating paper 2 1/2 x 6 inches and distress the edges with the color of your choice. I used a greenish color for this project.

Step 7: Mod podge the strip of paper onto your main piece of chipboard. I did mine towards the top. Mod podge the word grow in the bottom, right hand corner.

Step 8: hot glue a piece of ribbon across your piece of paper

Step 9: Hot glue three paper flowers in the middle of your papers

Step 10: Hot glue the 3 remaining flowers on the edge of your frame.

Step 11: Distress the edges of your frame. I also did this with a greenish color!

And you're done!

I hope you like it!
