Cute and Funny Guest Project from Somewhat Simple

Happy Friday Everyone!!!
I’m Stephanie from SomewhatSimple
I am super excited to be on Jen’s darling blog. It seems like Jen and I run in the same creative circle, but have yet to cross paths! Time to change that here today!

Today I thought I would share with you a very simple project that should get a few laughs if you make one for your home. I call it “The Exercise Block” and before any of you tune me out, let me remind you that this is funny, no exercise required!

Take A Look:

Materials Needed:
1 block, any size. (mine was a 4×4)
Scrapbook Paper
Mod Podge
Sponge Brush
Ribbon
Printed Directions
You can use this image if you’d like:

(Right click on the image to save it, then copy it to a word doc, adjust the size to fit your block and print. I make things easy for you!) 

Here are the Easy Directions of this Tutorial:
1. Cut 6 squares of your scrapbook paper to fit your block
2. Mod Podge the paper to the sides of the block by adding a thin layer of Mod Podge to the wood, then lay your paper on that, then add another thin layer of Mod Podge to the top. Let it dry completely.

3. Mod Podge your Directions Sheet to one side of the block, then let it dry completely.

4. I chose to distress the edges with a sander just a bit, but that is up to you. Now just pick a ribbon and tie it up with a bow.

And that’s it!!!!
My kind of exercise!

I would love to have you come visit me at somewhat simple and see what else I’ve been up to! Every day is different and each day is something fun! If you come right now, you can still add your link to our Strut Your Stuff Link Party that I host everything Thursday. Consider yourself personally invited!

Jen, thanks for having me as your guest today!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks Steph! If you haven’t made your way over to Somewhat Simple — you are missing out big time! Steph’s blog is a beautiful wonderland of crafty goodness! 

I’m sharing a little polka dot project over at Somewhat Simple today!
And a reminder — the Weekend Wrap Up Party will be starting tonight at midnight. I have a great new sponsor and giveaway this week for those of you who want to come to the party! See you then!!!
XOXO
