Wooden Baby Blocks

April 23rd, 2009 by Jenny · 4 Comments

Here is my latest artistic experiment for a friend’s baby shower.

This was a fun project, but of course it took much longer than I expected it would and there were a lot of tedious/repetitive steps.

  1. Finding suitable images - thank you Google images and all the wonderful coloring book pages out there.
  2. Tracing these images in the right size for my blocks
  3. Tracing over my first drawings onto the blocks using carbon paper
  4. Carefully drawing over the lines on the blocks with the wood burning tool

How do you think it turned out?

    Wow! Those seemingly simple projects rarely end up that way, but you did a great job!
