I have all of these little blocks of wood that I’ve been meaning to do something with for a long time. One of the things that I wanted to try is to put words on them.
I first sanded and painted the wood with acrylic craft paint. Then I tried using my Glaze Pens (by Sakura). These pens are amazing. They are opaque like a gel pen, but they shine and have a little dimension to them. You can use them on almost anything…even a smooth finish.
Here is the block that I did using them…
Here’s what happens when you use a non-permanent pen…whoops.
I also tried using a stencil. I bought these stick-on stencils at Michaels…
Here is my result…I thought that because they were sticky the paint wouldn’t leak or bleed. I was wrong. I tried using a Sharpie too, and I still had the problem.
Next, I tried using rub-ons. These worked great. They were my favorite look, and so easy…
So, that’s what I came up with. I’m going to experiment a little more with my own writing, but I’m pretty sure that I won’t be able to do as well as the rub-ons.
Until tomorrow…
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

I just love these! I have got to get me some rub-ons!
