DIY Christmas Postcard Blocks

My inspiration today came from 
Cottage & Bungalows Magazine

The magazine featured beautiful Christmas cards decoupaged onto wood.

I took the idea and ran with it... 

I didn't use Christmas cards but Santa postcards from 

Graphics Fairy.

I cut 2x4 pieces of wood into block shapes and painted them white with Anne Sloan chalk paint.

You could also use old children's blocks.

I printed out several Santa images, cut them to size and

used Modge Podge to decoupage them onto the blocks.

When the Modge Podge was dry I sanded the blocks. 

Furniture wax, stained with brown paint gave the blocks an aged look.

Wrapping the block in a length of jute finished off this gorgeous 3D postcard. 

They would look great with a postcard back on the other side too, maybe a different holiday so you can get a lot of use out of these cuties!
