wood block picture stand

This is a very simple idea I saw at a local scrapbook store, Pebbles in my pocket. It is an easy gift idea. They originally purposed it as a Girls camp craft and now have a father's day block you can see and order here. I am making some as my "Pay it forward" blog gifts.

Basically all you need is:

1 Large paperclip or alligator clip and wire
3X5 inch block of wood sanded et painted to desired color
Modge Podge and Foam brush
Patterned paper and embellishments of choice
Sticky Dot or glue for paper clip

Cut patterned paper to fit front side, or individual squares for each side and modge podge in place. After dry decorate as desired. Glue single end of paperclip on front corner of block and place embellishment over glued area.

Top with a picture held by the paper clip.

Another way to repurpose is to turn it into a recipe card holder.

My finished product.
