Want to make the blocks yourself? Here's how:

I used 2"x4"s for all of the blocks. The "has sprung" block measures about 13.75" long. The "S" and the "G" blocks are 6.8" long and the other blocks are 3.4" long. After cutting the wood I sanded the blocks and then painted the back and the sides white.

Next I measured the paper. I like to measure my paper just a tad bigger than the block. I then modge podged the paper onto the blocks. I like to "paint" the modge podge onto the blocks. After the modge podge dried I sanded the edge of the blocks and the excess paper off.

Next I used the minwax stain on the wood and the edge of the paper.

After the stain dried I modge podged over the paper. I always say less is more when it comes to modge podge. When the modge podge dried I applied the vinyl.

And then I tied ribbons around two of the blocks and added a little bling for fun!
