Halloween Project -- Make EEK Blocks!! {tutorial}

Thursday, September 15, 2011



Hello tatertots & jello FANS! jen here from CraftOManiac.{EEK} I AM SO STOKED to be visiting here on Jen's lovely blog today. She is to darn sweet to allow me to share with you my "EEK" blocks. I love jen so much.





SO here are my "EEK" blocks. 

Here's what I did to make them: 





In the collage you can see basic step by step instructions. 





  • I purchased the wood blocks and other wood pieces at Roberts Crafts. 

  • I started with painting the blocks with white acrylic paint. 

  • Then using my Cricut and my Platinum Schoolbook cartridge I cut out the letters out. 

  • I placed the vinyl letters on the blocks and then painted over the vinyl with charcoal acrylic paint and a little white paint mixed in. 

  • I then removed the vinyl and sanded the blocks and the toppers as well. 

  • I finally painted, sanded, and hot glued on two round wood balls to the base of the larger "E". 


This was a super easy project approx. 45 minutes or so. 








 



THERE YOU HAVE IT. I just love Halloween, and love to craft for it as well. I would sure love for you all to come visit me on COM. Thank you again jen, you are truly the best. winks-jen
