Baby Shower Blocks

 

My little sister is expecting her first baby. We are a crafty family and I wanted to surprise her with a super personalized gift. After much debate and 1000 of ideas I came up with this super great gift idea! I have seen many DYI Blocks but this is my spin on them with the personalization.

What you will need:

·         Blank square blocks (we bought ours online 50 for $12)

·         Mod Podge (homemade or store bought)

·         Krylon Matte Finish Spray

·         Stickers, Letters and Family member pictures

·         Sand paper

 

 Print any images on copy paper. Do not use heavy weigh paper or cardstock. We used a Square puncher to punch out the pictures (you can use scissors)

Sand the blocks, be sure to remove sharp edges or corners

Stick stickers on the blocks for the paper letters or pictures. Apply a thin and even layer of Mod Podge on one side of the block.  Lay the picture onto the Mod Podge and work from the center to the edges to smooth out any bubbles. Let dry.

Repeat until each side is covered.

Spray each block with the finishing spray (repeat with additional coats) Let completely dry.
