Seasonal Blocks

Did you know the 4 seasons of the year all have the same number of letters in their names? These seasonal blocks are such a fun decor you can keep on display all year long! I made these with my mother in law and 2 sister in laws over the holidays while the boys watched sports on TV all day.

Materials Needed:

• 1- 4×4 piece of wood cut into 4 inch blocks. We bought ours at Home Depot and they cut these for us right there in the store- perfect!
• Paint & Paint Brushes
• Vinyl Letters. If you don’t have access to any vinyl letters, free hand them or print out the letters on your computer and apply with some Mod Podge.

Directions:

1. Paint all sides of your wood and let it dry completely.
2. Apply your vinyl letters.
3. Display and rotate with the seasons!

Another Variation:

Our ward made these for a Super Saturday but instead of painting them a solid color, they used scrapbook paper and mod podge. I like the paint version better because the letters stand out more- the scrapbook paper was cute, but very busy. Also, the paint doesn’t take as long as the Mod Podge to dry, so for impatient crafters like me, it works better!
