Need any last minute kid gifts? I've got a super fun one for you! Make your own set of ABC, 123, or whatever type of blocks you want!
To make these blocks you will need:
::Unfinished wooden blocks, however many you choose- I got a set of 26 from ems woodbydesign on Etsy.
::6 images per block, cut to fit the size of your block face- my blocks were 1.5", so I cut my images to 1.25". I got my letter and number images from Leo Reynold's flickr page- he offers his images free for download and use under a Creative Commons' license. You could use magazine images, scrapbook paper, any kind of paper products as well.
::Mod Podge. I'm sure there are other mediums that would work just as well, but this is what I used.
::Scissors. Sharper the better.
::A foam brush. Other brushes would probably work too, but I like the foam brush because it leaves less of a brushstroke.

Repeat for all sides of the blocks. Give them at least 24 hours to dry and cure not touching anything else. The more dry time you can give them, the better. Enjoy!
