All Things Kids Guest Post

Once again, I have the honor of posting for The Wood Connection. I love when I get to be creative and do a fun project from their store, with my own twist of course! ;)

Today I will be sharing how to make a block you will love to have up during the fall or year round for that matter. It all depends on the paper and photo you want to use. This project is also very simple and takes around 30-45 minutes (depending on drying time) from start to finish. Let's get started!

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED: (Keep in mind I got all my supplies from The Wood Connection. Gotta love one stop shopping!)

- An 8"x8" photo block
- A piece of bead board about 7"x7"
- Scrapbook paper
- String, ribbon, yarn or what every you want to use.
- Sand paper
- Wood glue
- Mini clothing line clip (I had one sitting at home)
- Paint and a foam paint brush
- A picture

Now we are ready to create the block!
1. Begin by sanding you block of wood so it's nice and smooth.

2. Paint the block of wood any color you want. I used a dark brown.

 

 

 

 

3. Once the paint dries you can then trace the block of wood onto the piece of scrapbook paper you plan to use.
 

4. Now put some wood glue on the block of wood and smooth it out. Then press the scrapbook paper onto the wood.

5. While that's drying, you can paint the bead board and get that ready. Once again you may choose what ever color you want.

6. Once the bead board is dry, put some wood glue on the back of it and place it in the middle of the wood block that has the scrapbook paper on it.

7. Let that dry for about 10 minutes. In the mean time you can get your mini clothes line pin and and picture ready.

8. Put a little glue on the back of the pin and press it to the bead board, and let dry.

9. Last but not least, add a little ribbon or what ever you want to the frame. I made a bow and glued it to the pin. This is just one way to do it. The ideas are endless! And wa-la... A cute block you can put in your home to display. Fun to make and super affordable! Go get yours today at The Wood Connection. Might I add, they have all their holiday stuff up too. Now's the time to go get your Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decor and get craftin!
