DIY Fall Mini Stacker

I'm so excited for fall to be here - it's one of my favorite seasons!

This project was so simple, and I love how it turned out! The wood comes unfinished, sanded and ready to go! They measure 1.5"x 5, 6, and 7" long, so they are the perfect size and will fit pretty much anywhere. Love that!

To make this Fall Mini Stacker, I used:

Fall Mini Stacker craft kit from FabDecor

{you can buy one unfinished for $4.50 or finished for $9.00}

Anita's Craft Paint in Banana Yellow and Mocha Java

Americana paint in Bright Orange

FolkArt Extreme Glitter paint in Gold 

First, I painted them all and gave them all about 2-3 coats to cover the wood grain. Once they were dry, I painted a thick coat of gold Extreme Glitter paint and let dry COMPLETELY. If you don't, they will stick to anything/everything {I'd compare it as if you just Mod Podged something} and will pull all the paint off... Just saying - let it dry.

Once they were dry, I took some sandpaper and sanded all the edges. You could leave it as-is and it still looks great - I just love the distressed look. Then, I lightly wiped off the blocks with a damp paper towel to get rid of any sawdust.

Next, I applied the vinyl to the blocks. Easy, peasy! You can add a layer of Mod Podge to seal the vinyl, but I haven't done it yet. You could also glue the blocks together to prevent them from taking a terrible tumble, but with the glitter paint - they seem to stick together just fine... could be a bad thing for other projects, but a "happy accident" for this one!
