Craft & Crop at the Bird House for March

This project is for Easter Decor, my friend showed it to me. I loved making it and the sweet thing about it is that you can change it each month for the next holiday! So each month for the next 11 month, You will be creating a new set for another month. We will start out with wooden blocks. I purchased a 2X4 board from Home Depot and cut 2 of each at 6 inches, 5 inches and 4 inches. Then I made Modge Podge by mixing 1 cup of Elmers glue and 1/4 cut of water in a jar and shake till mixed. I ripped up the pages of a book and Modge Podged each piece and placed it on the wooden blocks. Let dry. Then I worked on the decorations that will hang on each block. Here is the finished decor for Easter Holiday.

 Here is the first block in the set. It has a sweet rabbit decorated so cute, you can see how it hangs on the front of the block of wood. I chalked the edges of each block when they were dry. I used my Cricut to cut the rabbit and some Swiss dot textured card stock. I cut the Happy Easter with my Cricut also, using textured green card stock. I purchased simple upholstery tacks. The little card is made from chip board covered with my choice of card stock. I recycle chip board from the boxes that I get when I purchase my dog food. You can use anything around the house. I love to recycle. It's the Girl Scout in me. I used ribbon I tied in a bow, googly eyes and a black button for the eyes, a little pink heart cut from my Cricut, and twine for the whiskers.

 The H in HOPPY, I cut out of glittered card stock with my Cricut and also the cute pink flower and leaves. I added a rhinestone to give it some bling.

 Those who know me know that I love the Lord and I try to incorporate something that draws me to Him. Here on the O in HOPPY I found a wonderful scripture to point us to the true meaning of Easter. I made this shape like an egg, added a sweet ribbon, a pink flower cut from the Cricut, and some flowers I had in my stash. I added some rhinestones for bling. My friend Pamela gave me the sweet purple Rhinestone flowers and I was so excited to use them.

 The first P in HOPPY, was created in the same way, just added different flower cut with my Cricut.

 The second P in HOPPY, was done in the same way. Not only are the blocks different sizes but the chip board cards are too.

 The last letter Y in HOPPY is done similar to the others.

Here is what the Modge Podged blocks will look like when you finish them.

 Then you can hang your decorated chip board cards from them to match the holiday for that month.

 I hope you will join me to create this wonderful decor for your home or to bless a sweet friend with. Don't for get to text me for a seat. 817-999-8223
