Molds, Blocks and Trees
Molds, Blocks and Trees
As part of my Winter Wonderful Tray, I added these trees to my sled. They were quite easy to create since I had all of the materials on hand.
vintage molds or any metal tins
vintage blocks or wooden blocks
Christmas trees from Dollar Tree
paint
modge podge
glitter
This is what I wanted to create:
1. Paint your molds or metal tins. If you don't have any vintage molds, you can find metal tins at Hobby Lobby. I sanded them lightly for the paint to adhere.
Then I sprayed them with some chalk paint I had.
2. I was lucky to find three letters that I could use, J and O. The Y was on one but it was not raised so I just painted over it.
You could always find some wooded blocks or make your own. You could also use round pieces of wood. You can fins those at Hobby Lobby or cut up some tree branches. lol!
3. Once the molds and the blocks were ready, I glued them all together and let them dry.
Then I got out my Modge Podge and using a paint brush that is about 3/4 inch wide, brushed it on the mold and the block. I also brush some strokes up the tress.
Then sprinkled everything with glitter and let it dry.
It is a nice reminder for me since these blocks belonged to my son. I remember him playing with them.
