I sanded my blocks to make them smooth.
Then painted them white and pink.
Then stenciled the letters on in the opposite color of the block.
Wait, there's nothing "evil" about these cute blocks...
On the other side, I decided to put "X O X O" so that I can switch them around if I want to.
Lookin' cute on my mantel. I love these blocks!

ReplyDeleteBarbara Jean, I used my Cricut to cut out the letters for the stencil. I used the Storybook cartridge.
ReplyDeleteThese came out really great! My Michael's never seems to have these bigger blocks or they'll have one. I've been wanting to do something similar but will they ever have four???? =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm kindof upset I bought these blocks at Hobby Lobby! UGH. I needed you last week! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out super cute! Is it weird that I love the wood grain showing through in circle on the top? Anyway, thanks for linking up on A Little Tipsy.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I liked the wood grain too- that's why I didn't put a third coat of paint on them. Thanks for hosting the party!
ReplyDeleteI love these and you have just given me reason 4,521 that I need to get one of those........ machines. I keep trying to tell myself I don't need one but then I see one more reason I do. You did a great job, thanks for inspiring me.

ReplyDeleteCan I ask which CriCut you got? Aren't there different kinds? I'm thinking of asking for one for my birthday. Would you buy it again if you had to? Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my party Get your craft on Thurs. I hope you join me next week. Mr. Linky disappeared for a while tonight I thought I lost all of my guest, but it finally came back. I will not be using Mr. Linky anymore!
Totally cute!! I was laughing at the EVIL. I got some "believe" blocks for Christmas, and the first thing my hubby did was rearrange them to spell "be evil" Good times. Thanks for the link!

I'm visiting from Crafts in Bloom and I have to say that I love these. I saw "xoxo" blocks at Roberts for $30! Unbelievable. Your blocks are so much prettier than theirs too!

ReplyDeleteCheri
wow! great project and lovely end results!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so cute. I have the expression and cut that same heart out for a decoration I made, and decided it looked like a devil with the horns. I cut out a different one. I love that I'm not the only one who saw the "evil" potential of the horned heard.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I came up with with mine:
