- I didn't have a fancy cutting machine so I chose a font I liked from Microsoft Word, wrote JOY, printed it off and cut it out. I traced it on my nice paper and cut it out again.
- Mod Podge the letters on by layering the glue on the front of the block, place the letters, and layer the Mod Podge over it all.
- Once it all dries, tie raffia around and make a bow on top.
