Young Women Value Blocks - great as an activity or as a table display.
How to make:
First, order the vinyl - click here
You will need 2-3.5” square pieces of wood for each set. You can buy a 4”x4”x8’ post/beam at a home improvement store (like Home Depot). These pieces of wood actually measure 3.5”X3.5”X8’ {DON’T ASK ME WHY...}. Cut into 3.5” pieces-so you have a 3.5” square block. Some stores will do this for you - ask first.
1. Sand wood so it is smooth - mainly on cut edges.
2. Dust off wood pieces
3. Paint desired color (we painted each side a value color).
4. Sand edges of blocks with sand paper (we used a palm sander...much easier!)
5. Dust off.
6. Apply vinyl (we put each value decal on its respective color).
7. You can apply a thin layer of stain over paint and vinyl to seal, but this is not necessarily a requirement.
Family Picture Block - Perfect for a quick crafty activity. PERFECT for camp, overnight-type activities, and retreats!
