As you might already know the words spring and easter both have 6 letters, so my Mom, sister and I thought why not make one set of blocks out of the two words. So we got six blocks each a different size, we painted them each a different color and on one side we put the word Spring and on the other we put Easter.
We used a cricket to cut out the letters, each block is a different size so each letter is also a different size. To make sure that the letters fit the blocks the way we wanted to we cut the letters first out of paper then we cut them out of vinyl. For my blocks I cut Spring in yellow vinyl and kept the paint solid, then cut the letters of Easter out on white vinyl and sanded the edges of my blocks.
The thing about doing crafts with other people is that you can do the same craft and have the ending creation look so much different than the others. These blocks have a hint of accent on the edges, as well as different order of sizes and colors.
Its also fun to mix it up by using different fonts for each block and deciding to use capital letters of lower case to make it look your own. Lets see what you can come up with.
