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
