Good morning,
I have a quick and easy DIY for you to usher in the first day of fall this weekend.
These letter blocks are very simple, fast and fun.
You can buy wood blocks from the craft store, or cut your own from a 4×4 (just be sure to sand really well.)
The wood letters can also be purchased from any craft store or online. The key is finding the right size to fit your blocks.
I did a single coat of dark walnut stain on the blocks …
…and a single coat of golden pecan on the letters.
The letters are attached with a couple of quick shots of the nail gun.
If you don’t have a nail gun, wood glue will work as well.
These will be making their way to their permanent home over the weekend. I’ll show you where next week. Can you guess?
Tomorrow I will be doing a DIY Rewind to look back at one of my most popular posts – and a fun one – to get ready to submit toWhisperwood Cottage’s Organizing Solutions Talent Scouting Contest. Be sure to stop by!
Have a great day!
Be inspired,

Turning lifetime passion into livelihood. It's about time! I'm Shari. I am a 40-something wife, mother, corporate professional turned design stylist, avid sports fan, and usually exhausted 24/7 keeping up with it all. I love my family, my home, my work...and the chaos that comes with it. I also happen to adore my beagle, Scout. 
this is such a great idea! LOVE it!
It is such a neat idea and an easy one. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! Sweet idea, Shari! You always amaze me with the ideas you come up with. I would have never thought to do that!!
How simple is this?!! Great idea for a mantle or buffet. Love it!

Love these! It’s one of those things I always knew would work in theory, but I love seeing how beautifully yours turned out!
Oh cool ! I love these. You could even reverse the letters and make stamps.
I love another excuse to use my nail gun! Yes!
just saw the feature at MRL…CCC, Patricia!
You are a genius. I was picturing you whittling away at the blocks. This makes so much more sense!
Cauuuute! Very simple, rustic, and perfect for my house!
Thanks for sharing!!
What a great project! Thanx for coming to THT!
