Items You Need:
Block of wood Raffia Paper Paint/ Paintbrush Mod Podge Directions:
Paint the piece of wood Sand the edges after it dries 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.
Items you need:
Christmas paper A cut 2x4 in lengths: 7", 6",5", 4", 3" A wooden star Mod Podge Green, brown, and yellow paint Ribbon, wire, your choice of embellishments Directions:
Paint the 3" block brown Paint the remaining blocks green Paint the star yellow Cut your choice of paper to the size of the long, skinny side of each block. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge on long skinny side of block and place paper over layer. Apply the Mod Podge over paper. After the Mod Podge dries, sand around the edges of the block and the star. Don't be afraid to sand the edges of the paper. If you want the brown distressed look, use a foam brush and dip in a small amount of brown paint. Lightly brush the sanded edges. Stack the blocks and embellish what fits your style. For more tips check out or Tips for Wood Crafts.
