Christmas Fave #2- Thrifty Decorating

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Today’s guest post is from Nicole from Thrifty Decorating!


————————————————————————————-


I first saw this set of JOY blocks at Dandelions and Dust Bunnies and I couldn’t wait to make my own for Christmas!

Start with a 2×4 piece of lumber that you cut into squares….we just have these things around the house, so I didn’t need to purchase one. My husband saves every scrap of wood!


I tried using the table saw, but quite honestly, that thing scares me to death….so I got my husband to cut the squares! I just put my vinyl letter on the block and guess-timated how big I wanted the block.



Grab some red paint….mine was just from Walmart!

I bought my vinyl from Jill at Utah Vinyl and applied it to the painted block….

Then, I added some sheer ribbon from Walmart……It took about one spool to finish one set of blocks.


They turned out exactly like I wanted them to!!


Total cost:

one 2×4…..free

red paint: $0.97—1 jar could do at least 4 sets if not more….so count $0.25 for 1

vinyl: $4.50 per set

ribbon: $1.99 per spool


Total Cost: about $6.75 for a gorgeous gift idea!
