*Block 5.5 X 7.5 at about 1ich thick piece of wood (Home Depot was super nice about cutting it for me!)
* Stain of your choice
*Mod Podge
*Tacky Glue
*Scrap-booking paper and matching embellishments
(1) Stain your block with your choice of color! Make it as dark or as light as you like!
(2) Cut your scrapbook paper to fit the size of your block! You can make it as small or as large as you like but remember if you are putting a picture on this you are going to want some paper showing! Put a small amount of Mod Podge on your block and add the paper on top! Use your hands to smooth out the paper and give it a few mins to dry! Once it is dry paint on a thin layer of MP on top, this help protect the paper and its edges!
(3) Use tacky glue to add embellishments wherever you like! Make sure you put a clip on the top so that you can "clip" a picture to your block!
Other Options:
I teach preschool and one of our Christmas projects was to make a tree on a block as a gift to parents! We put the scrap-booking paper on the block then did a handprint on a separate white paper and cut the white paper a little smaller so that the scrapbook paper could be seen! Be careful when MP your tree on because some paints (most) will bleed! Lightly brush on the MP on top of your tree!
Then let the kids add where they want stars and other embellishments!
Here are some examples, they really came out cute!
