What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Start with your set of blocks together and draw on your shape. I used a circle template for the circles. I used just a pencil and rules for the square and triangle.
  • Paint inside or outside of your shape with craft paint. It may require a few coats with the paint. I left the unpainted surface natural but you could definitely use a contrasting paint in this area if you wish.
  • Allow the paint to dry completely. Then turn all of the blocks over and repeat the steps on the next side.
  • Continue for all six sides. The longest part of this project is waiting for paint to dry.
  • To make this gift last as long as possible, you can also follow up with a couple of coats of spray sealer after the paint has dried.
