16 Word Blocks




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)
Block 1) H Y E D
Block 2) A S R C
Block 3) R P E T
Block 4) V N O L
Block 5) E O M D
Block 6) S I K M
Block 7) T B W F

Step 7: Copy and paste the following list of words and print it out and tape to the bottom of one of the blocks so you always have the list with your blocks.

Blessed, Dream, Easter, Faith
Family, Freedom, Friend, Harvest
Home, Hope, Monster, Mother
Snow, Spooky, Welcome, Winter

Step 8: Display
