Easy & Fun Halloween Blocks

Hi! It’s Ginger from GingerSnapCrafts.com! It’s so nice to meet you. Over on my blog you will find lots of easy craft ideas, DIY projects, recipes, kids crafts, organization tips & more. I’d love to have you drop by sometime. 🙂 I’m am so excited to be here today sharing a cute & easy Halloween tutorial with all of YOU. 🙂 I love simple & easy crafts. Annnnd this project is definitely super easy to put together. You’ll only need a few supplies, too. So keep reading to see how I did it. 🙂

For my blocks I used these wooden blocks I had bought quite a while ago from one of those daily deal sites. I’m glad I finally decided to use them. ha! 😉 You could also use a 2×2 board cut into smaller blocks. My blocks were not cut all the same size. Some were a little taller & some were a little shorter. Some were a little wider & some a little skinnier. Have fun ~ mix them up! 😉

I cut my letters using white vinyl & my Silhouette using the “An Accidental Kiss” font. If you do it this way make sure you measure your blocks carefully. Since each block is a different size it makes a difference on how big your letters need to be. (If you don’t have a digital craft cutter you could use a stencil, paint marker or order vinyl letters online.)

For this project I used the Americana Multi-Surface Satin paint from DecoArt in eggplant, school bus, apple green, poppy & black tie. I painted my blocks with a foam brush putting about 2 to 3 coats of paint on each block. Then I let them dry.

Then I applied my vinyl letters. You can put a coat of Mod Podge on top if you like. That’s it! Easy peasy! 🙂

I love how this project turned out ~ not too spooky or scary & with colors that are perfect for a Happy Halloween! I also love how the white letters really pop against the colorful blocks! 🙂
