Personalized Teacher Gift - So cute

I am loving the things I could do using 2 X 4's!

I did this cute personalized teacher block set for a student teacher. I think it turned out really cute! Love the colors!

1. I first cut my 2 pieces of wood.

Name block measures: 12 inches

Top block measures: 6 inches

2. Using the palm sander, I made sure to sand both pieces until nice and smooth.

3. I painted both pieces of wood using a turquoise color.

4. I used my cricut to cut the letters.

5. I decoupage the letters using Mod Podge.

6. After the blocks dried completely, I embellished with tulle and a pretty rose.

7. Final step was to add black dots around.

So cute! I added these blocks in my shop if interested! :)

"Nest" Turquoise Distressed Blocks w/ Photo Block

I've taken a LONG break. But I'm back!

I want to share a really cute project I did yesterday! I dont know about you, but I am loving the color turquoise! Its so fresh, clean and beautiful! Im working on a few projects in my living room; one of them is adding more turquoise. Plus, I love the color combination of turquoise and brown! Perfect!

I started out with a 2 X 4 I bought at Home Depot. I have all the measurements down since I sell them in my etsy shop.

I sand all the blocks really good until smooth. I choose a beautiful turquoise color to paint all the blocks.

I used my cricut to cut all the letters. I love my cricut!

I used a chocolate brown paint to distress. You will need to water it down so it could be easier to wipe off.

Using a brush, paint one block at a time. After a couple seconds or so, wipe down with tissue or napkin. It will give it a nice distressed look.

You could see the difference in this picture.

When all the blocks are dry, adhere letters using Mod Podge. You finish by adding a cute birds nest on top the letter N and distressing the edges.

Now isn't this cute? I love it and it will look great in my living room.

Hope you have enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial!

More projects coming soon!
