Hello! I’m am so excited to be sharing a cute & easy Halloween tutorial with all of YOU. 🙂 I love simple & easy crafts. Annnnd these easy & fun Halloween Blocks are definitely super easy to put together. Plus they are super cute! 😉 You’ll only need a few supplies, too. So keep reading to see how I did it. 🙂

 

 

For this project you’ll need a few supplies:
wood blocks
craft paint
foam brushes
vinyl lettering
Mod Podge (optional)

 

For my blocks I used these wooden blocks I had bought quite a while ago from one of those daily deal sites. I’m glad I finally decided to use them. ha! 😉 You could also use a 2×2 board cut into smaller blocks. My blocks were not cut all the same size. Some were a little taller & some were a little shorter. Some were a little wider & some a little skinnier. Have fun ~ mix them up! 😉

 

 

I cut my letters using white vinyl & my Silhouette using the “An Accidental Kiss” font. If you do it this way make sure you measure your blocks carefully. Since each block is a different size it makes a difference on how big your letters need to be. (If you don’t have a digital craft cutter you could use a stencil, paint marker or order vinyl letters online.)

 

 

For this project I used the Americana Multi-Surface Satin paint from DecoArt in eggplant, school bus, apple green, poppy & black tie. I painted my blocks with a foam brush putting about 2 to 3 coats of paint on each block. Then I let them dry.

 

 

Then I applied my vinyl letters. You can put a coat of Mod Podge on top if you like. That’s it! Easy peasy! 🙂

 

 

I love how this project turned out ~ not too spooky or scary & with colors that are perfect for a Happy Halloween! I also love how the white letters really pop against the colorful blocks! 🙂
