REVERSIBLE 2 x 2 WOOD STACKERS

Hi.  MY NAME IS KELLI AND I LOVE WOOD.  There, I said it.  I can’t help it…I go into Home Depot and love to just walk down the 2 x 4 isle and smell (and smell and smell and smell!).  Man, that is good stuff.  I know, to the ‘normal’ person, that probably sounds weird, but what can I say (I never claimed to be normal!).   And, really, is it so different than someone who loves the smell of coffee and enjoys the aroma at Starbucks?  Hmmm, I think not!  (ok, so wood doesn’t taste good, but it does smell oh so good…admit it, you know I’m right!). 

So here I am with another wood craft. This one is also so easy!  I bought a 2 x 2 at (where else) Home Depot, cut it to various lengths, sanded and painted it.  Then I added some words that I think represent the season (or Holiday).   I love to make my crafts versatile when I can, so I made this reversible.  One side I painted Christmas colors:

and the other side has Autumn colors:

I used my Cricut to cut the vinyl, but you could use stickers, rub-on transfers, or stencils to create your words. This is a very versatile, easy and inexpensive craft.  Also, you can personalize it for a special friend, or family member simply by adding words or phrases that fit their personality.  Again, Home Depot will cut your wood if you don’t have a saw, or,  if you’re ready to try it yourself, but don’t have a (big bad beafy electric) miter saw, you can actually buy a brand new hand saw and miter box (at Home Depot) for about $10, and it will work great!  So don’t be intimidated! Go out and make a stack today!!  (You’re probably looking at a $3 investment with a total time of about an hour…what could be easier?).

Thanks for stopping by!  Please leave me a comment so I can visit you back!
