A few days ago I posted a picture of a huge box of small blocks — here is what I did with them!

I saw the cutest Alphabet Blocks on the website Brown Paper Packages back in January and I knew I wanted to make them.   So I pinned them on Pinterest on my Craft Ideas Board and the other day I finally decided I was going to make them.

OLD and I went to Lowes and bought a 2×4.  When we got home and he tried cutting it, he told me it was to hard to cut on the type of saw we had or whatever and that a 1×4 would have been much easier because it was less cuts.  So he went back and got a 1×4 for me!  It probably took 1 1/2 1x4s to do as many blocks as I did, but they were cheap.  So no biggie!

Husband cut the board in half long ways and then cut 1 1/2 inch squares.  We sanded them and then I painted the Number and the Capital Letters Black and the Lower Case Letters White.  Then he sanded them all again for me so they would look distressed.

I picked a font off the computer and used my silhouette to cut out the vinyl letters.

There were a total of 94 blocks–
Numbers 0-9
1 set of capital letters
2 sets of lower case letters
and an additional a, e, i, o, u, and y.

What do you think?  I love them and love how they turned out!  I hope the kids like playing with them and I hope it will make it more fun for Parker to learn how to spell!
