Craft bucket craft #1: Wooden Blocks

These blocks were supposed to be for a Christmas present /: obviously that never happened! {haha sorry Joel and Julia Howells...you'll be getting two presents from Keith and I next year (;} But they were my first pick out of the bucket. I had two ideas for them: First is to make one block with things on each side representing our family: an H, the date we got married, our fingerprints, and pictures of us. The other blocks I decided to make a holiday craft for St. Patricks Day! This is what I came up with:
 
 It's a great craft because it is super easy, and you only have to have half the amount of blocks than doing one letter on each individual block.


Here are the steps:
  • I bought the blocks at a Home Improvement store and had help from my sister in law to cut them and sand them
  • Next I spray painted them black (spray paint is much faster) then painted the two sides on each block green. 
  • Lastly, I did the letters in glue and covered with glitter! super easy.
 So this is part 1 to the wooden blocks craft, the second part will be coming soon!

The Amazing Craft Bucket

Sick and tired of having so many awesome craft ideas, and about 15 half finished projects, I came up with my amazing craft bucket list


So here is how it works: write down all of my crafts and projects I want to accomplish, and put the scraps of paper in a bucket. Draw one out, and don't draw another until it is finished = more finished crafts! viola! follow the progress, and the crafts and projects I FINALLY complete haha.
