I finished these summer blocks last night, and I LOVE them! My crafty friend gave me the kit, and they turned out so cute! Thank you!!
First thing first is to paint your blocks! I ran out of a few colors, so I had to get creative and start mixing! I just used a sponge brush.
When the letters were dry I put on the vinyl and added some white paint around the edges. I tried a few different ways, and the EASIEST way to do this is with a sponge brush.
Here is a block with the distressed edge, and one without. I like it better with! Also, don’t worry about it looking perfect…sometimes I do that a little too much!
Next I added a fun wood piece.
I took some thick wire and wrapped it around a pencil, then hot glued it to the back.
I was going to drill a hole, but decided my wire was too small…so I nailed a hole and stuck the sun in.
Hope you are enjoying your Summer!!

loans
Every body admits that modern life is not very cheap, however different people require money for different issues and not every one earns enough money. Therefore to get fast home loans or just credit loan would be good way out.

I would love to order the enjoy summer blocks finished. Please let me know how I can.
thank You,

How cute. I think I like the white around the edges better too. I have some blocks and may need to work on some of these for the fall and winter!
