I guess this idea is more repurposing than crafting …………
I found this box of 16 “Guess How Much I Love You” wooden blocks in a Charity Shop in Cheltenham for just £2, it was a no brainer, as the book is a staple with Iris and Bertie. I thought I would simply give them a set of three cubes each with the three different quotes from the story, perhaps glued together, to put on their bedroom shelf or in their treasure box, I still might …….
…… but then I wondered if I could also make a very basic Christmas tree decoration using them.
I would have liked to have given them a cube that also had their initial on, but although it worked for Iris it didn’t for Bertie.
Rather than over egg the pudding I simply put a tiny, silver, screw eye hook in the top of the cubes and then passed and knotted a silver thread through from which to hang the cube.
I really don’t think they need anything else, however any suggestions would be gratefully received. I will do the same with all the other cubes as fairing gifts for very special family and friends.
Sometimes simpler is better. I think these are great the way they are.
