St. Patricks Day "Lucky blocks"

Lucky Blocks

This project was super fun, easy, and a little time consuming... only because my baby was jealous of all the attention these blocks were getting! I've never decorated for St. Patricks Day in the past, but after seeing all these cute ideas in the blogging world, I figured this was a great excuse to make some cute blocks :)

Supplies I used:

4x4 cut up into 4 in. cubes ( The nice man in Home Depot cut them for me :))

Rust-oleum Leafy Green spray paint

Cute scrapbook paper

Modge Podge

Time Holtz Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

Folk Art- Buttercream acrylic paint

Chip board letters

Paint brush

Sponge brush

Glue gun

Steps:

1. Cut up wood

2. Spray blocks

3. Cut up paper

4. Distress edges with ink

5. Apply Modge Podge to blocks and then apply paper. Smooth out bubbles. After it's dry, apply Modge Podge over the entire block.

6. Paint letters & let dry. Glue letters to block.

That's it! Have a good day! :)

"G" letter meets Jute Twine!

I have to admit, I didn't come up with this idea. I saw it on someones blog but for the life of me I can't remember who's blog it was so I can't give them credit for it...  Sorry! 

I had a "G" letter that I've had for awhile but wasn't too fond of it. So instead of painting it, I figured I would do something different! Therefore....  ugly colored letter meets jute twine... and walla! Simple! Basically I just wrapped the twine around the letter and used a hot glue gun occasionally to make sure it would stay in place. Cute, no?
