Giant Christmas Blocks

Giant Christmas Blocks
What you need
- Square cardboard boxes
- Red or White Spray Paint
- Antique gold paint or gold spray paint
- Wood letters
- Gold Puffy paint (optional)
- Hot glue
- Wood button plugs
- Gold hardware corners
Directions
- Assemble your box and hot glue ends so they are flat. Do not overlap end pieces. Let dry.
- Spray paint box red and let dry. Fill cracks on ends with puffy gold paint if you want a super clean look. This will also make the edges look "antique".
- Spray paint all your letters and wood button plugs gold and let dry.
- Hot glue the letters and all the little button plugs to the box and decorate with any additional wood items you wish to have on your block.
- Carefully hot glue your metal corners to the box as well. NOTE: The metal will heat up in your hand if you use hot glue, so you can also use regular Elmer's glue for the corners. TIP: Place these boxes at your staircase or under your tree. These are made from cardboard so do not place these on the lawn where they can get wet.
