Well I have about 1/2 ton of wood blocks left over from un-mounting all of my stamps. I have never had a really good idea what to do with them. Of course it's unthinkable that I would (gasp) throw them away. So, maybe I'll do something like was shown in your link. Although, what would they be good for even then? I'm drawing a blank

I was wondering if you would be interested in selling any of your wood blocks?
Thanks,

I've used the wood blocks, exactly like the Oriental Trading ones you linked, as table place card settings before. I just decorated them, then had one at each seat holding a name card.
They look super cute and everyone always loves 'em!
I was a guest designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps last summer and did a "Christmas in July" series. One of the projects was the attached altered blocks. There's a tutorial for them here: http://sweetnsassystamps.blogspot.co...er-blocks.html
They were a lot of fun, and pretty easy to do! Hope that helps!
I don't have a picture but I hope I an explain my idea.....SNOW
Take 3 2x2 wood blocks and cover with blue paper....cut out an S, an N and an O from cardstock. Glue the letters on the blue paper. For the "O" in SNOW, use a round wooden ball and paint or cut paper into a snowman's face.
These were done with Clearsnap Style Stones, which are no longer available. Cut grunge board could be substituted; dominos would work too.
Other uses for the blocks: apply wide Velco tape to the top to hold felt on the block (for sponging ink); sanding blocks (apply sand paper to one side of the block); hot pads; coasters; wall decor (pictures can be mounted on the block). They're great imagination toys for kids (trains, cars, stacking, etc.)
