DIY 'Joy to The World' Block::Bloggers Best 12 Days of Christmas

Hello! I’m Ginger, & I blog over at GingerSnapCrafts.com. I am sooooo excited to be over here with the Crafting Chicks today. 🙂 Over on my blog I love sharing easy, simple & fun projects, recipes & ideas. I’m also a mom to 5 kiddos, & I have one amazing husband. I hope to see you around sometime over on my blog. 🙂 This DIY ‘Joy to The World’ Block is so, so easy to put together. Shhhh! These are actually our neighbor gifts this year. 😉 We can make a bunch at once, they are really inexpensive to make, & they turn out super cute. So keep reading to get the tutorial. 🙂

You’ll need a few supplies to get started:

2×4 cut into a 7 inch block
this image from the Silhouette store
Joy to the World vinyl (cut with my Silhouette)
white acrylic paint or spray paint
sand paper
ribbon

First I painted my block white. It took two coats of paint, & then I let it dry really well. Then I distressed it slightly with some sand paper.

Then I applied my vinyl lettering. If you have never applied vinyl lettering before you can check out this tutorial over on my blog. Just a warning~ it’s addictive! 😉 I’ll put vinyl on almost anything that’s not moving. ha! 🙂
