St. Patricks Day Lucky Blocks


Lucky Blocks




This project was super fun, easy, and a little time consuming... only because Koston was jealous of all the attention these blocks were getting so I'd have to stop and give him loves. 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 :) Most of the stuff I had on hand, so it was really cheap. Just what I like!




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

Tim 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! :)
