<h1>'Give Thanks' Blocks</h1>

So I had some of these cedar wood blocks laying around, and thought they would be perfect for a fall craft! 

3.99/4pack The Container Store

What you'll need:

This is exactly the kind that I used (same thickness and size) but you could always go get some wood pieces cut at Lowe's or home depot in ANY height you want. Just keep a decent width to allow them to stand on their own ;)

Wood Blocks of some kind 

(I have 12 total, to spell give thanks and the two fun ones)

Paints  

(lots of colors of your choosing)

Scrapbook paper

Modge-Podge OR Elmers glue 

(clear drying) for a top finishing coat

    Steps:   

Paint your blocks background colors

I alternated colors with both words 

(My GIVE=creamy orange and then creamy yellow. My THANKS=creamy green and then creamy orange) and also only painted my front and rounded sides--left tops and bottom paint free.

Then choose a (totally different) color to be the color directly behind the letters 

(mine is a nice light-med. brown color)

Free hand some bubble letters 

(spelling out 'give thanks', don't worry about cutting out a center

 for your g, e, and a if you don't want to)

Glue on your letters

Paint on any last finishing touches

for example 'stitch' markings or polka dots...

OR a couple fun blocks (like my turkey and pumpkins)

Let totally dry and seal with your modge-podge!
