Sweeten Your Day Guest Post

Hello all you Wood Connection crafters! Jen here again from Sweeten Your Day to share with you another fun craft/home decor inspired from the Wood Connection! Our family loves to play games so much, it is some of our fondest memories with friends too. So today I am going to show you how to  make scrabble-inspired home decor!

Supplies:

Wood Blocks ( I used 5 1/2" square blocks from the Wood Connection)

Vinyl Letters and Numbers (you could use stickers too)

Clear Acrylic Gloss Spray Paint

Optional items:

Vinyl Stencil

Acrylic Paint and Foam Brush

 You can use a Cricut, Silhouette machine, or stickers to add your letters and numbers. Mine were cut to 3 1/2" for the letters (2" smaller than the block) and 1" for the numbers.

Mark an inch from the top and bottom to center you letters with a pencil

 Carefully adhere your vinyl on the block centered in the middle and erase any pencil marks that may be showing.

P.S. I put letters on both sides of my blocks so I could get more use and variety out of them!

Now here is a fun little trick that I love to do with vinyl as well, making them into stencils, if you want to add a little color and variety. Instead of using the actual heart cut out from your vinyl, I peeled that out and saved the outer scraps. Center the heart on your block, then paint over it.

 Let dry a little and peel off your vinyl, Awww!

Now take them all outside and give them a couple coats of the clear spray paint...

 

Let them dry and viola! You know have a fun new and simple decoration :)

I spelled out our family last name, if you have a longer name - bonus points!

Flip them over to have another decor option...

Thanks for checking out our fun little tutorial and I hope it inspires you to create something new!
