It's Day 2 of the My Creative Time 12 Days of Christmas, and today I have a little home decor to share with you. This was a pretty simple project. It takes some time for Mod Podge to dry, but that just gives you time for some other crafting in between! The cute letters were cut with My Creative Time's Lowercase Fun Dies.
I started with some 1 1/2" wooden cubes that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I then took my favorite Christmas paper, Handmade Holiday from Simple Stories, and cut it into 1 1/4" squares. After inking up the edges, I was ready to go. I did one side all of the blocks at a time, covering the side with Mod Podge and placing the patterned paper on it, waiting 15 minutes, and then covering it with Mod Podge again. Once all of the patterned paper squares were adhered, I put out the blocks in a way that looked good to me and then adhered the letters by putting a little Mod Podge on the block, placing the letters on that, and then covering with more Mod Podge after a 15 minute wait. Once they were all dry, I put them out with a fun jingle bell tied with seam binding from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique!

I love how you have decorated the cubes!! They are fabulous!! HUgsxx
Awesome idea and even I can do this and ya know I love it because it would make a great gift too and it's something easily packed away and taken out for years to come. TFS!!!
I did something like this a couple of years ago using different holidays for each side of the blocks. Love the paper you used on yours.

These would be neat on a mantle or use just to "fill in" those vacant non-decorated spots in your home.
OMGosh!!! I am so doing this! Right now, in fact! I won't use wood blocks, but will use a cut file. This is adorable! Great job...

katie, your blocks are so cute! I really like that the wood is left natural with my favorite paper too!
The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole
my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive
a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Nice Job. I can see why the paper is a favorite, I like the variety of greens. Question, where do you find the blocks at Hobby Lobby?.
Super cute. I love the little boxes. Adorable.
