  • In today's video I've taken a container of old vintage alphabet blocks and challenged myself to create 5 upcycled projects with them! It was so fun and I came up with so many more but wanted to use the supplies I had at home.
    Have you used old blocks in any of your projects?
    I hope you enjoyed today's video, and I can't wait to hear what's your favorite flip!

    The brick blocks would be adorable with a small Santa on top. I had those same blocks for my kids. Dil got rid of them😢

    I absolutely love all these, I also did that with some blocks but need more to spell for each holiday. I made the word vintage with the blocks and keep it up all year. 🎅🎄😍 I love mixed media as well!!

    I so understand needing to use stashed items. As much fun as thrifting is, like it brings out the hunter in me, I do need to recognize that I have very little space. So in order to move on, I have to use what I have. I'm envious of your block treasure, they're so cool.

    Loved the Merry Christmas blocks. I'd done a project where I had to paint one of the letters a different color so I wouldn't have a duplicate, and you can't even tell.

    Hi Sonnet! I like the way you outlined the letters on the HoHoHo set of blocks. Might the Jolly and Holly also look good that way?

    • @SonnetsGardenBlooms
      @SonnetsGardenBlooms  10 місяців тому +1

      Hi Gina! I wanted to showcase both ways to give everyone the opportunity to see how each one looks. I do like the outlined one too. 😊

    Sonnet I hate neutrals, I Hated you painted those blue Blocks, I Love all the Blues, it saddens me, that people are so obsessed with Greens, But I absolutely hate the Color of Green, But I still think you do a great Job, but I do wish you would add Blue and Peach Colors,

    • @SonnetsGardenBlooms
      @SonnetsGardenBlooms  10 місяців тому

      Hi Sarah. I typically use a variety of different colors in my projects, which is why I stated that I was going to do neutrals for my audience that prefers those colors. That is the beauty of paint though, you can make it any color that suits your style. I am here to inspire and give you all ideas on how to make fun and creative projects. You get to paint whatever color that makes you happy. 😊

    To me Neutral is so Boring, I am sorry, but you want our honest opinion,
