Love all around!

So what does one do with a 2x6 piece of wood?  I'll tell ya!

This!

and this

Besides a 2x6 board that I got at Lowes, here were my supplies:


Sandpaper
paint
mod podge
fabric
ribbon
wooden letters
hot glue
distressing ink

 

I first cut the wood to the desired length depending on how big your wooden letters or your pictures are.

I sanded the wood down a bit to get rid of any jagged edges.

For the "xo" blocks:

I painted the blocks red and the letters white and used some of the distressing ink on the edges.

I slightly sanded the painted blocks.

I cut some fabric a little smaller and mod podged it onto the front of the block.

When it was dry, I glued the letters onto the blocks with hot glue.

I tied a sweet bow and hot glued that onto the top of the block.

For the picture block:

I painted the block a layer of green paint and then a layer of black.  (I like the affect of the green showing through a little when I sand the blocks after painting)

I slightly sand the painted block.

I mod podged my picture of choice onto the block and added a layer of mod podge around the whole block.

When it was dry, I added a decorative handle and tied a ribbon on one side of the handle.

Cuteness right?

The picture of Christ I used was a photo that I had taken of a print I have from artist Liz Lemon Swindle

but you could use any picture you like.  I think I'll do a family photo next.
