Here’s a easy Diy Vintage Wooden Block project for making vintage wood blocks with scrapbook paper (affiliate) that can be used for different projects. 

I got this idea from “Knick Of Time” Wood scraps and antique photographs. I decided to make up several for a few different projects, and I wanted to share my version of how I made these antique wood blocks, and what I did with them. 

First you will want to stain your wooden blocks and let dry thoroughly.

Then using Mod Podge to glue your piece of scrapbook paper onto your stained wood block.

Once dry trim the excess off, then sand the edges.

Now take your ink and rub it lightly on the edges of your wooden blocks.

With 3 of my vintage wooden blocks I made Mr. & Mrs. Blocks by stencils the letters on top of the scrapbook paper of my blocks.

The next one I made a photo holder block by wrapping some jute (affiliate) around the block a few times and tacking it down on the back. A mini wood clothes pin (affiliate) holds the photo.

I love how they turned out, there is more to come.

    These are really cool. You are so imaginative! I love the turquoise block the best, the concept of using it to highlight a photo is really cool. The twine and the mini clothes pin put it over the top!!!

    Hi Linda, I’d be chuffed if I created such pretty looking blocks too. They could be used for so many things and you’d probably pay way over the odds to buy something like this.

    Linda the first blocks are very nice, but I am totally in love with the second one with the twine (wink) and clothespins. You made that one for me and you didn’t even know me back then. Haha.
