Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Take the short piece of 2x4. On the wide side, draw a mark 3 ½ inches up from the end of the squared off lumber. Then draw a mark 1 ¼ inches up from the end of the lumber on the other side. Draw a line between these two marks. This will create a diagonal line that will be the guide for sawing off the board.
  • Cut the wood along the line.
  • Use sandpaper to sand the board to get a fairly smooth surface on all sides of the block.
  • Paint the block a solid color on all sides. Allow to dry.
  • Have fun painting decorations on the two main sides of the block.
  • Use Polyurethane spray or liquid over the entire block to make it easy to clean and to protect the painting.
  • Use wood glue (or hot glue) to glue the clothes pin onto the top diagonal edge of the block.
