DIY Fabric Covered Blocks with Angie of Little Inspiration

August 13, 2012 by April Nicole Fontenot 1 Comment

Hi Wildflower & Whimsy readers! I’m Angie and I blog over at Little Inspiration and I have a little project that I want to show you.

My toddler loves playing with wood blocks so I decided on making her some wood blocks covered in bold fabric colors. She absolutely loved them and I know your toddler will too.

All you need is the following:

3 pieces of wood (Your choice of size) These particular ones are 6 x 1.57 inches – I bought a three pack at Micheal’s for 5.99 plus a 50% coupon. (Sanded & Finished)
Fabric Scraps or Remnants
Mod Podge
Scissors

First make sure to sand & finish the wood blocks. Measure & cut fabric, add mod podge to the wood, and apply fabric. Easy Peasy.

Pick fabric scraps that are bold in color and eye catching.

Add a little bow and they look very pretty on a gift box! Toddlers will sure love them.

I hope you liked this little project.

Thanks April, for having me.

Her hobbies include sleeping late, procrastinating, starting complicated DIY projects it takes her ages to complete, buying bikinis she doesn’t need, and finding ways to mildly annoy her husband (see first 4 hobbies). She’s overly opinionated, talks too much and too loud, and refuses to follow the status quo. Her one redeeming quality is she loves fiercely and with reckless abandon. She always fights for truth, and truly believes that the truth will set you free.

3 weeks ago by aprilnicolefontenot Rest day - but probably going to do some light yoga for back pain after I get the kiddos to sleep. Slept AMAZING last night for the third night in a row. It's almost like there is something to this whole eating healthy, taking care of your body stuff... R1W1D4 . . . . #fitmom #homeschool #homeschoolmom #red #layers #blondehair #strongnotskinny
3 weeks ago by aprilnicolefontenot I felt silly taking a pic "flexing" when I have pretty much nothing to flex (yet!) But after only 3 days of slowly working towards getting back to paying attention to my what I am eating and forcing myself to give it my all in my workouts, I am already FEELING so much stronger both mentally and physically. I have slept better the past 2 nights, have much more mental clarity, and have just been in a much better mood overall. Today was actually a little bit of a shock for me because after months of barely eating at all…
3 weeks ago by aprilnicolefontenot When you let yourself get so out of shape a 40 minute workout takes an hour and 40 minutes. Got it done though. Here's a post workout selfie because we all know the workout and the calories don't count if you don't post it on social media. . . . . #tired #sorealready #sore #nola #saints #strongnotskinny #ssp #beachbody #strongereveryday #fitness #lightweight #mom
2 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot Harry Winston said, "People will stare. Make it worth their while." I think a lot of people interpret that to mean you have to be gorgeous, have a certain body type, hair cut, dress a certain way, certain amount of money in your bank account. I think that's how I interpreted it for a long time - and who knows? I don't know much about the guy, so maybe that's how he meant it But for me, it's taken on a new meaning lately. To me, it means they are going to have an opinion, so why worry about what…
