LOVE Block Tutorial


Supply List:
Creative Imagintations Bare Elements "LOVE"
4 Coordinating Pattern Papers
Adhesive
Craft Knife
Embellishments as desired
Ink
Sand Paper or Sanding block


1. Pick out (4) coordinating patterned papers, you only need a 6x6 square of each. (I chose to use the Trinity Sincerely line)

2. Pick out your coordinating embellishments (I chose to use Ribbon, Chipboard, and bling)

3. Use adhesive to adhere patterned paper to block letters. Be sure to get all edges very well.

4. Use a craft knife to cut patterned paper around each letter. (If you do not have a creft knife you can trace the letter on the back of your pattern paper and cut out with scissors then adhere to the block.)

5. Sand edges to give the distressed look, this also allows you to hide any imperfections that may have occured when using the craft knife.

6. Ink and Embellish as desired.

6. Sign the back of your blocks!!! I can't stress enough how important this is! Especially if you are giving them as a gift! BE PROUD AND OWN IT!
