Give Thanks Blocks

   I had sooo much fun making these blocks! They are made with the Decor Elements Blocks sold in our Holiday Mini Catalog.

These are the first four in the group. I painted each block with vanilla acrylic paint and after it dried thoroughly I covered them on 4 of the 6 sides with Chocolate Chip cardstock and Autumn Meadows designer paper.

This is a side view.

These are the other 6 blocks. Sorry I don't have a side view but you get the picture!

And here they are all together on my mantel. Each block is 3" x 3" and I apologize for the photo. The lighting in my living room is not very good.

Another way to display them is to stack them like this. They take up less room that's for sure!

Every block was sponged and decorated with some type of fiber and an embellishment. If I had them, I would have used chipboard letters or die cut my own with the Big Shot, but I don't, so I used letters stamped with the retired Headline Alphabet set. These were cut out by hand before adhering to the tag or twill.
