XOXO Block {Tutorial}

 I am IN LOVE with this EASY block I made today!  I actually started it last weekend, but didn't get back to it for a few days.  

I almost feel silly giving you a tutorial on how to make it, but I am doing it anyway!

Supplies:

-a 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 7 inch piece of Wood

-{XOXO} thin piece of wood that I bought at Michaels.  Cost about $1.  {It already had the XOXO on it}

-Bakers Twine

-Paint {I used MS Habanero Red and Delta Ceramcoat Tropic Bay Blue}

-Little Heart DooDad {i got at Dollar Tree $1 for a pack of 6}

-Palm Sander or Sandpaper

First, I painted the block red.  Let it dry completely.  

I didn't take pictures of this step.  Next, I painted 2 coats of the Tropic Bay Blue.  Let it dry completely.

Next, sand the block around the edges and on what will be the front {I did the back too}.  Sand until the red shows through.  I LOVE this look!

Glue on the XOXO with a glue gun.  I cut the heart stick almost in half, then attached the heart with the bakers twine.  Walaaa!  DONE!  I put a dab of glue behind the heart, so it stays. 

See, Easy-huh?
