"BE" blocks instructions | PT Feb/Mar 2008 by Rachele Funk

These beautiful blocks will make a striking addition to any room decor.

Blocks are 3 ½” cubes
Cardstock, ink, chalk, waxed linen: Close To My Heart; Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye; Vellum: Prism; Ribbon: Bazzill Basics, Stampin' Up!; Flowers: Heidi Swapp, craft supply; Buttons: Foof-a-La; Photo corners: Heidi Swapp; Vinyl rub ons: Spectacular Scribbles; Paint: Delta; Font: Georgia; Cubes: Making Memories

Technique
Prepare six cubes by painting the entire surface with one thick coat of cream acrylic paint and allow to dry. Cut 15 squares of coordinating patterned paper, just smaller than the width of the block. Attach one square to the top of each block. Carefully plan the placement of the lettering and apply vinyl rub ons. Adhere the remaining squares of paper to the blank dies of the blocks. Embellish as desired.

Try This
Use colors to coordinate with your home decor and these blocks will look great displayed on a shelf were people often walk past.
