i love u- wood block tutorial
11.20.2010
This is a great way to say "I love you" to any one that you may love! It's as easy as 1, 2, 3... well, maybe a few more steps after that...
Supplies:
12 kids blocks
scrap wood, to make the box
stain
ruler
wood glue
pencil
razor or scalpel
washcloth or scrap of material-to wipe off stain
paintbrush-to put on stain
letters- I, L, O, V, E, & U
white craft paint
crazy glue or hot glue
1. Start with kids blocks. You will need 12 of them. Then, using a razor or scalpel, cut them up and beat them up to make them look all grunge like.
2. Stain them. I used a darker brown and only stained one side. I did several coats, wiping off after each coat. Allow to dry.
3. Measure your blocks 4 across and 3 down. After measuring, you will need to cut out a box. Make sure that the box fits all around your blocks. I just used scrap wood and cut two pieces that were approximately 4 inches and 2 pieces that were approximately 4.25 inches.
4. Using wood glue, glue your box together. Let dry completely and grunge and stain to your liking. I stained the inside of my box as well.
5. Put blocks in box. If box is measured perfectly, the blocks should be kind of tight. I even had to hammer mine in. If your box is a little big, you may want to glue your blocks together first and then put them in the box.
6. Using a little bit of white craft paint smear it onto your letters. I used some sweet metal letters from We R Memory Makers metal alphabet letters but I noticed they were out of production. I had some left over from a different project. I smeared just enough paint to grunge it up a little, but not cover it. Then I wiped it off.
7. Glue down the letters. I used crazy glue. It was the quickest and easiest.
And, it's finished! Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!

Petite Lemon is LIVE!!!
11.08.2010
I'm so excited to tell you about this! Petite Lemon is finally live! I told you I was busy all Summer. I've been waiting so long to show you these.
This one is my favorite. My husband, Christopher, and I collaborated on this project to make this fabulous style of princess. Isn't she cute?
And this is the classic Princess.
This is the Owl Growth Chart, in pink.
Night Owl.
Don't you love the mustache? I thought that was a nice touch!
Super hero monkey to the rescue!
I only drew the duck, flamingo, and monkey on this one. But I organized them all into this stylish stack... It comes in boy colors too!
