Step 1: gather your materials/ you will need a 4x4 piece of wood (Home Depot 8 footer $8.18), sandpaper (anywhere but the dollar stores), black paint (Joann's .59), and tan or beige vinyl (Joann's or Walmart $9.99).

Step 2: Cut your wood into 7 - 4 in squares, Home Depot might cut your wood for you if your lucky, ( save the rest for one of the next projects I plan to show you tomorrow)

Step 3: Sand your blocks to your liking, (if you have access to a power sander I highly recommend using it)

Step 4: Paint your blocks black, (don't worry to much about the edges), you may need a double coat of paint.

Step 5: Sand the edges of your blocks to the look you like.

Step 6: Add your vinyl (you have to be very specific when placing your letters)

Christmas Balls

 

Step 1: Buy your materials/ you will need Styrofoam balls you choose the sizes.

(mine are a 5 inch ball {Joann's $5.99} and probably a 3 inch ball {Joann's 2 pack $4.99})

red paint (Joann's .59), Christmas Buttons (Joann's $5.99) White Buttons (Walmart $1.89), and long sewing pins with a white ball ( Joann's 4.99).

Step 2: paint your balls red, stick push pins in the bottom so you can let it dry without rolling around.

Step 3: begin pinning your buttons to the styrofoam be creative and have fun.

Step 4: tie a christmas ribbon to it, hang it, and enjoy

Note: the smaller ball took 1 bag of each kind of buttons so if you do anything bigger grab more buttons :)
