I love to nest during this time of year when the kids head back to school! Part of my ‘love language’ for our family is to make this time as easy as possible for them and make handmade DIY items that they’ll love. Today I want to share something I think is helpful and fun for YOU!  I am beginning a new series called “THROWBACK MONDAY”.

  • 2 Block Letters – the ones I bought were pink so I simply changed the color with spray paint! They were only $3.00 too – so budget friendly!

Tutorial:

1. Using Krazy Glue attach the two letter blocks in an L shape.
