I made these fun blocks for both Grandma’s Christmas presents this year! They LOVED them!
I remember seeing something similar at a holiday boutique and they cost $40. Trust me you can make them much cheaper- and probably cuter too!
I started out with a 4x4x8. Then I cut the blocks ( and when I say I, I mean the guys at home depot lol) down to 3.5 in. The base I had cut to 7 inches.
After I gave each block a couple coats of paint I printed out the vinyl with my Silhouette. You could really do any variation of colors. I chose a more neutral color to match their houses.
Then I distressed the edges with a little distress ink. Gosh I love this stuff!
Next I cut my pictures down to 3×3 and modpodged them on.
Once they were dry I tied a little bow around them, and sent them off to grandma’s!
Both grandma’s loved them!
I have seen this quote altered to say “Mom,” “Dad,” or “Grandpa.”
Get creative, and get crafting!

Hi there! I LOVE these and want to make something similar with pictures of my daughters’ first smiles- did you just Mod Podge right onto the photo? Or did you have to photocopy it onto regular paper first? Thanks!!

I saw this through pinterest! I was wondering, would this work with a normal photo? Or does the photo have to printed on vinyl?
thanks! I love this idea!

I love this. I am going to have to Google to find out how to modpodged. Also, Did you use a stencil to put the saying on the large Block? Thanks, Leisa
