DIY Recycled Christmas Card Blocks
The beautiful home and garden magazine featured the cutest little Christmas cards decoupaged onto wood.
Well, I took the idea and ran with it...
I didn't use Christmas cards, though I could have, but Santa postcards from Graphics Fairy.
You could also used decoupaged Christmas napkins, they will work great too!
These posts will show you how to use napkins.
I cut 2x4 pieces of wood into block shapes and painted them white with Anne Sloan chalk paint.
You could also use old children's blocks. Being a preschool teacher I use what I have!
I printed out several Santa images, cut them to size and used Mod Podge to decoupage them onto the blocks. A laser printer will work best for this process.
When the Mod Podge was dry I sanded the blocks.
I used Furniture wax, stained with brown paint to give the blocks an aged look.
You can also use Transformations Decorative Glaze which is one of my favorites!
I wrapped the blocks in a length of jute to finish off this gorgeous 3D postcard.
These would look great with a postcard back on the other side too, maybe a different holiday so you can get a lot of use out of these cuties!
