Instructions

  • Sand your wooden blocks lightly to remove any rough edges. Then wipe them clean before painting.
  • Paint each block according to your chosen character such as green for the Grinch, brown for the reindeer, red for Santa, yellow for an elf, white for a snowman, and tan for the gingerbread face. Let them dry completely.
  • Use a fine brush or paint pen to draw faces and details. For example, add Santa’s belt buckle, the Grinch’s smirk, and the snowman’s carrot nose.
  • Attach buttons, ribbons, and glitter accents using a glue gun. Use green faux fur on the Grinch’s head, jingle bells on the elf’s shoes, and buttons as the gingerbread’s cheeks.
  • Stack or line them up on your table or shelf. Each block captures a little piece of Christmas fun.
