2-for-1 holiday {trio}

Now that Halloween is {almost} over, we're excited to decorate for Thanksgiving!...and since I'm a HUGE 2-for-1 fan...Christmas too!

{Thanksgiving trio}

Argggh, I took a bazillion pics to show you all how I made these fun&festive blocks and they didn't transfer over!! So I'll have to tell you how to make them.  Good news though, they're very easy to make!  Read on for your own DIY...

{Christmas trio}

D - I - Y:
Supplies:
2x4 wood
2 styles of scrapbook paper
vinyl lettering or a stencil *I can cut the vinyl if you're interested?
sandpaper
Mod Podge
paint brush
red acrylic paint, brown acrylic paint

Directions:
1) Cut 2x4 into 3 sizes:
{Turkey/tree block: 3.5"x7" / Word blocks: 3/5" x 6"}
2) Sand
3)  Paint front sides of turkey block brown, tree block red
4) Mod Podge scrapbook paper onto word blocks
5) after dry, apply lettering to designated blocks.

Easy right??  Total cost FREE as I had everything on hand!  Whoohoo!
