Behold Him Blocks

December 20, 2013 by Amy 2 Comments

Last year I saw the Behold Him blocks on pinterest.  I thought that they were soooo cute.  When Christmas came around the pin had a broken link, so I did my best to recreate it.  I made them for my neighbor gift for Christmas.  Since then I’ve found another link to I think the ‘original’ Behold Block creater.  I believe she sells them here.  Definitely the cutest ones out there.   However, they are pretty cheap to make if you’re into it. Behold Him Blocks Christmas

 

You’ll need:

  • 1 –  2″x4″ wood (it’ll run you about $2.40 at Home Depot)
  • Letter print outs (I printed at Costco 4×6 – $.13 each, 8×12 – $1.49, and 18×12 – $2.99
  • Paint
  • Mod Podge
  • Sponge brush

Cut the wood 2×4 to these lengths:

  • B – 8″
  • nativity picture – 8″
  • Him – 12 ½”
  • These next blocks need to be cut a little more, otherwise ‘Him’ would’ve been really long
  • E – 4″ x 2 ½”
  • H – 5 ½” x 2 ½”
  • O – 3 ½”  x 2 ½”
  • L – 5″  x 2 ½”
  • D – 4″ x 2 ½”

Sand blocks and round the straight corners over.  Paint the blocks your favorite color, mine are white.

Print out the pictures.  I printed the letters and picture at Costco.  It is more cost effective if you are making like 6 sets of these blocks.  Here are the individual pictures and also the grouped pictures:

  • B – 3″ x 7 ½”
  • E – 2″ x 3 ½”
  • H – 2″ x 5″
  • O – 2″ x 3″
  • L – 2″ x 4 ½”
  • D – 2″ x 3 ½”
  • Him – 3″ x 12″
  • Picture – 3″ x 7 ½”

The most cost effective multiple printing is in groups of 6 sets of blocks.  Print

  • 1 sheet Him’s – (6 Him’s 18″x12″)
  • 2 sheets B’s – (4 B’s 8″x12″)
  • 2 sheets pictures – ( 4 pictures 8″x12″)
  • 2 sheets E’s – (3 E’s 4″x6″)
  • 3 sheets H’s – (2 H’s 4″x6″)
  • 2 sheets O’s – (4 O’s 4″x6″)
  • 3 sheets L’s – (2 L’s 4″x6″)
  • 2 sheets D’s – (3 D’s 4″x6″)

You can get 6 sets of blocks from 4 – 2″x4″s, so the wood and pictures end up being $3.35 for each block set.  Not too bad!

Next Mod Podge the letters and pictures onto their corresponding block.  I usually do a top coat of either mod podge or a clear poly urethane type.  And they are as easy as that.

If you are giving them away, you might want to include a picture/diagram of how it goes together.

An FYI: The paper designs used on these blocks came from www.ggdigitaldesigns.com Leslie is my favorite digital designer!assembled blocks

    Thanks for the great craft idea! I made one today but painted the wood black and it turned out great.
