Building a house is a great way to accumulate scrap wood! I made these reversible blocks from building our last house, simply by painting 2×4’s in various seasonal colours and free-handing the letters. I outlined the letters, leaves and leaf veins with a blade before staining it (helps make them “pop”). The more banged up and distressed they are, the better they look (in my humble opinion anyway!).
These are great in a window or on a ledge because you can see words from both sides – just be sure to put the letters in the right order so the words are actually legible from each side!
Notice that these letters are raised higher than the Autumn ones? I was actually thinking ahead and realized that they needed to be higher to be completely visible. They sat in my window, and I wanted the full letters to be seen from the outside, over the window edge.Sure glad I was thinking!
