Instructions

Cut one side of plaque with saw for flat bottom.
Paint plaques in spring colors, set aside to dry.
Use thin white paper or tracing paper to make a pattern indention of the face of your plaque. This will give you the pattern to draw and cut out of various scrapbook paper. Adhere to painted plaques with wood glue.
Cut out letters on Cricut machine using Robotz cartridge. Ink edges, doodle with black marker.
Place letters on blocks and seal with varnish.
Glue small pieces of wood to back of block for extra stability. Some of my blocks were still a little wobbly so I added a piece of felt to bottom. Works great!
