Winter Blocks

(This picture is over a year old! I'm too lazy to get up and take a pic of them.)

I made these blocks. They are super easy. Just have your handy bro cut out the wood and sand it, then cut scrapbook paper to size, glue it on, then use the cricut to cut out the letters. The snowflake is wooden that I painted and then sprayed with glitter paint.

2 x 4 Snowman

Can you tell by now that I LOVE snowmen? They are just so cute!

The girls in my family made these last night on New Years Eve. We all did ours different and they all turned out SO cute! I found the idea on Craft Chic Mommy. I pretty much copied her snowman the whole way except for I added buttons down the middle. And I didnt have any scrabble tiles. :(

All you need for this is:

- 2 x 4 cut in different lengths. (7 1/2inch, 5 1/2inch, and 4inch)

(My husband was at Home Depot anyway so I asked him to buy the wood and ask if the Home Depot guys would cut it for him... I'm glad that they would! They cut 6 sets!)

- Beadboard for the nose (My sister had some extra so we lucked out, didn't have to buy any!)

- Buttons

- Ribbon

- Paint

I'm pretty sure you can figure out the rest by yourself!

2 x 6 Snowmen

The girls in my family made these last year. We each made 3, all in varying heights.

Here are the very easy steps:

1. Paint wood
2. Pick fabric for scarfs and hats.
3. Make hat by sewing the sides together and trying a string around the top.
4. Paint the face on. (I made the dots by dipping the opposite end of the paintbrush into the paint)
5. Cut the nose out of Orange Foam
6. Put hat and scarf on!
6. Add bells, snowflakes, buttons, etc to hats

I had these outside for less than a day last year because they kept falling over. They still fall over alot inside cuz of my dogs but I love them.
