Baby Name Blocks

September 4, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 13 Comments

I’m back with my new creation featuring Trendy Twine.  This month we are showcasing Chocolate Sprinkles. And what goes better with blue and brown than little boys.  Usually the brown is mud though. I decided to make my own wooden blocks out of some scrap lumber my husband had laying around.  Of course, this is going to my nephew.  You guys sick of hearing about him yet?  LOL

I saw someone selling these on Etsy, and liked them so much I made my own.  I believe they used frames.  To give interest on the letters, I outlined them in the Chocolate Sprinkles twine.  Cute, no?  I think so.  Sometimes my picture taking leaves much to be desired.  They are bright and cheery off camera.

That’s all for today folks.  I slipped and fell down the stairs this afternoon. I’m not feeling so hot.  Let’s just say I am too old to be bouncing down on hard wood. I mean it is a quicker way to get to the bottom, but oh so painful.  I need to take an aspirin and go to bed.

Supplies:

Teddy Bear Brown paint by DecoArt
Mod Podge
Aye Matey (wheel & anchor) by Lettering Delights
Weather Girl (cloud) by Lettering Delights
Martian Mania (font) by Lettering Delights
Free clip art found on Bing* search (sailboat, fish)

Same cozy vibes, different sizes, zero regrets.

These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏
