Creative Wood Blocks To Make


balsa
Although most of my work is two-dimensional, I also love to work in 3-D. I have often painted wooden objects for parts of my exhibitions and they always end up being my favourite bits. The wooden shapes in my exhibitions are custom-made, but it’s just as easy to create something similar using regular wooden blocks. They can be recycled or off cut pieces (try your local hardware store) or you could buy a set of children’s wooden blocks (preferably natural wood, not painted). Play around with the expressions you give them to make different personalities, as this will make the interactions between them lots of fun.
For the wood varnish, I use a water-based polyurethane varnish in a satin finish, available from craft stores.
You will need:
  • – wooden blocks
  • – sandpaper, if required
  • – pencil
  • – acrylic paint
  • – paintbrushes
  • – eraser
  • – wood varnish
    balsa
1. Smooth off the blocks using sandpaper if necessary. You can also use sandpaper to remove varnish. The blocks I used had varnish on them, but as they were quite old I was able to paint over it. I liked their worn look and didn’t want to lose this
balsa

2. Pencil out your ideas – draw the rough shapes of your blocks and have a play with different patterns and faces within the shapes. Think about colours and have a play around with the paints you have chosen.
balsa

3. Draw your designs on the blocks lightly in pencil. Don’t press heavily as you may leave a permanent impression on the wood.
balsa

4. Start painting. It can take a few goes to get used to painting the wood, so I usually keep a practice block to test colours and different paintbrushes on. This makes starting the final pieces less intimidating!
balsa

5. When you have finished painting, set the blocks aside to dry, then erase any visible pencil lines. Pencil can show through some light-coloured paints, but I like this – it adds to the hand-painted effect. You can cover it up with extra coats of paint, if you prefer.

6. If your blocks are going to be used by children, give them a few coats of varnish. This will also give your pieces a polished appearance. Once finished, go forth and build your wooden block empire!

DIY Puzzle Cube - Using Balsa Wood

DIY Puzzle Cube
Puzzles and games have always been a thing in our house. Canasta , scrabble, words with friends, connect four, Cranium, Tripoli, Cribbage, memory , Pictionary… Although no one will play with my sister and I because we’re kind of awesome and perhaps a tad obnoxious and a lot competitive! I’ll play any game that does not involve singing, and that is only because I would big time lose, and what fun is that! (humdingers in Cranium are as close to singing as I’ll get, and still there is an 80% chance I either will not know the song or have no idea how to hum the tune!) My youngest brother, Steven, taught himself the Rubicks cube a few years ago (with the help of youtube videos ), and I know he would enjoy this easy homemade gift…
balsa

Here’s what you need:
  • wood glue
  • q-tips
  • paint
  • wooden cubes
The best dea lon craft cubes I’ve found is at Hobby Lobby. Each pack has 72 individual cubes, each 3×3 cube needs 27 individual cubes. (insert nerd voice) According to my calculations, if you bought 3 packs (72 x 3= 216 and 216/27=8) you could make 8 cubes! A few more calculations tell us that each 3 x 3 cube costs only $1.12 a piece to make.

Here’s what I did to make my cube puzzle…

Let me explain:
  • Step 1: Count out 27 cubes
  • Step 2: Build your 3×3 cube so you have something visual to work with…
  • Step 3: Use a q-tip to carefully start gluing your cubes together. It gets kind of tricky.
  • Step 4: A few times I glued only 2 cubes together so I could keep the 3×3 cube shape, and better see what I’m working with.
Here are my 5 puzzle pieces (picture them not yet painted)…

Now, it’s time to paint… I picked an Americano theme only because those are the Plaid paints I had on hand
I don’t suggest painting with q-tips… I tried since the Q-tips were out and I didn’t want to dirty a paint brush… trust me on this one, it’s not worth it
Not to mention why I tried to paint and glue on a magazine, another dumb move… I culd have at least opened the magazine up for more surface area!

I used sand paper after the cubes dried because a few pieces were clumpy. I like how it turned out. Take a few pictures like the ones below so that you can remember how the pieces go back together!

I think it might also be fun to give someone all the materials to make this little craft! Are you a puzzle person? Do you think someone in your life would enjoy this toy? I think this would make a great stocking stuffer too.

The Steps for How to Make the Easy Paper Crafts: Sailboat

balsa

First, print the pattern.  
Cut out the pattern shapes.
The pattern provides the sail, the boat, the length of the mast and the holes you need to cut.
Place the boat pattern on the foam core poster board or balsa wood. Using a pencil, trace a light line around the boat onto the material.
With a craft knife or sharp kitchen knife cut the foam core or balsa wood around the boat shape. Take care to not cut anything you do not want cut (e.g., yourself).
The balsa wood is actually easier to cut than the foam core layers.
For a children's project, an adult should cut the boat shape for each child.
Next, place the sail pattern on the paper and trace around the shape lightly with your pencil.
Using scissors, cut around the sail.
For a child's project, have them color their sail prior to cutting out the shape. Ask them to color both sides - the same or different.
For the mast, cut the drinking straw or wooden skewer to the right length.
If you are using a wooden skewer, make a small hole in the foam core or balsa wood and push the skewer into the boat at the mast position shown on the pattern.
For a drinking straw, place the straw over the mast position on the boat shape. Lightly trace around the straw with a pencil. With a knife, score the round shape where the straw will go making a small round circle. 
Push the straw into the scored area over the small round circle of material.
Cut holes in the sail at the positions noted on the pattern either with a hole punch or just make small X's where the mast will go through the sail.
Weave the sail over the mast (drinking straw or wooden skewer) positioning it to look like a sail being blown by the wind.
For place cards, make a sailboat for each place setting. Write each guest's name on either the sail or the boat.
Or, write each guest's name on a separate piece of paper, punch a hole in the name tag and put the mast through the hole prior to weaving the sail onto the mast.
Of course, you can embellish these in many different ways.
Plus, if you want to make the boat appear on water at each place setting, use a blue charger plate or cut a piece of blue construction paper to fit under the boat.
As for the children, a boat race could be fun. They could see whose boat can win a sailing race and which boat will float the longest before becoming waterlogged!

Here's another example using balsa wood, a wooden skewer and a crayon colored sail.
Whether making the sailboats with children or making them for place cards, fun and whimsy are the goals not perfection. If the cuts are not perfect or the colors are not in perfect straight lines, don't worry.
