Valentine’s Day Love Blocks Cube

Make a simple Valentine’s Day decor piece using wood blocks and vinyl letters. This can be made quickly and they look great for Valentine’s Day. The best part for me is that I had all of the items I needed in my craft stash. 

This month for our challenge hop, we’re all creating using items that we have in our craft stashes. It’s a fun challenge and it helps to use some of those items that we’ve been holding on to and taking up space in our craft rooms.

I’ve had some plain, small wood blocks in my craft stash for quite a while. I’ve had a few ideas of what I wanted to do with them, but just never got around to finishing a project.  I’ve seen love blocks in various sizes and using an assortment of materials in my Pinterest feed. That sparked the idea to use these blocks for a simple Valentine’s decoration that I’ll use on our stay at home date night Valentine’s Day Tablescape.

Valentine’s Day Love Blocks Cube

Materials Used:

• 2″ wood blocks (4)
• Vinyl Letters
• Ribbon
• Scrapbook Flower
• Glue

At some point, maybe two years ago,  I was going to use these for a spring decor craft. I painted them purple and then set them aside and never got around to completing a project using them. 

To match my pink and gray color pallet for this year, I used Folk Art Home Decor Chalk Paint in Castle to give the blocks a new look.

I created the LOVE letters using Cricut Design Space using Heartland font. You can find this free font download here.

In Design Space, I used pink, thinking that would look good on the blocks, but when I looked through my vinyl, all I had was bright pink that wouldn’t match the soft pink that I’m using for the tablescape. I went with white letters instead. After cutting and weeding the letters, I attached one to each of the blocks. 

I used hot glue to connect the blocks together and then added a strip of white ribbon around them. The ribbon is glued in place at the top. 

To cover the spot where the ribbon meets and to give it a pop of pink, I found this scrapbook flower in my craft stash. It’s glued to the ribbon. 

 

It took less than 30 minutes, including the time for the paint to dry, to put this together. 

It’s a fun addition to our Valentine’s Day decor and it was an easy way to use up a few craft supplies.

If you don’t have a cutting machine, you could use vinyl letters found at craft stores. Michaels usually has a great assortment of letters that would look great.
