And so, he painted three. Three sweet and beautiful blocks I will cherish always. Here’s how he did it.
Materials:
wooden blocks {ours were 2×4’s cut into 6″ pieces
acrylic paints
adhesive vinyl
Silhouette Cameo {although you could cut by hand}
STEP 1: Paint your blocks.
Two of these already had a base coat of light pink. I had painted them during Crafting Night but couldn’t decide what to do with them. Little Crafter took it from there, using the finger painting technique he perfected on his photo frame the day before. He loved mixing the various shades of red and pink and trying to create “peppermints” on the first two. When he got to the third block, he started mixing all the colors and just painting with his entire hand.
I let him choose his colors for each set of words, and he picked purple, “green”, and blue. Everything cut perfectly. He’s four, friends. You. Can. Do. This.
STEP 3: Adhere your letters onto the blocks.
We used blue painter’s tape to help us keep the letters straight. LC helped push them down so they were stuck really well.
What’s your most treasured gift?
