My pieces were 4 inches wide, so to make sure I had square blocks, I cut 3 pieces that were 4×4. I used an X-Acto knife to make sure I got straight lines. I did say you can cut Balsa Wood with scissors, which you can, but I used pieces that were a little thicker and can sometimes cause splitting. Keep in mind these are only for décor and aren’t really meant to be played with. I thought it would be fun to create my own, on a much larger scale. Alphabet blocks are a common piece of décor used in nurseries, but the typical rainbow colored ones don’t exactly mesh with the rest of the aesthetic in the room. I’ve got a lot of the larger pieces for the nursery planned out already, so now it’s time to start focusing on some of the smaller details. It turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself 😉 I already shared this DIY Feather Mobile I made, and next week I’ll be revealing the little MCM piece of furniture I painted mint. The living room is coming along quite nicely, which you can check out here, and my other main room of focus is of course the nursery. Good thing I need to decorate pretty much every room in our house, so I’ve got a lot of possibilities. Now that we’ve moved into a new home, I’m really only trying to create projects that I know I’m going to use in our decor. It’s so easy to work with and you can literally use scissors to cut it. My product of choice was Balsa Wood, which I’ve used a bunch of times before and just love. What exactly is craft wood? It’s a broad theme, but essentially it’s thin wood, like Balsa Wood or plywood that you can cut super easily without power tools.
We’ve recently done pegboard and fabric, and this month was craft wood! It’s time for another Monthly DIY Challenge! You know the drill every second Wednesday of the month, I get together with some of my bloggy buds and we create a DIY based on the same theme or out of the same material.
