How To Make These Fall Letters

STEP ONE: The first thing you will need for your project is wood. Measure and cut your 2×6 into 4 cuts at 5 1/4 inches. If you are using scraps that are roughly this size, don’t worry about cutting.

Random pieces at different heights will work as well.

Just be sure the pieces you cut are large enough to hold the message you intend to use. If you look closely at the picture, you will notice the size differences.

STEP TWO: Once you have your pieces cut out, sand the front surfaces smoothly (this is particularly important because your painting will look rather odd if the surface is not fairly smooth).

Next, give them a fresh coating of paint. I used brown.

STEP THREE: After Your Wood Block Pieces Are Dry. Dry fit your fabric to your blocks. Once you get the correct sizing, you are ready to glue. I used spray glue.

STEP FOUR: Now, to make the letters, you can cut them using a Cricut machine or trace them yourself. I own a Cricut Expression cutting machine. For me, the next step was pretty simple. I just picked out the paper and font I wanted and let the machine do its work.

STEP FIVE (Optional): Before attaching the letters to my fabric-covered board. I distressed them by using a distressing knife (if you don’t have one, you can use anything that will leave impressions on your block).
