<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI wanted to make a little \u201cpuzzle\u201d that he\u00a0had to arrange to see the hidden message and pictures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I had 6 2\u201d blocks that when I put them together would fit 4×6 pictures.\u00a0\u00a0And then I realized I needed something on which to put the 6 blocks.\u00a0 I found a small chalkboard at a local craft store that had an opening that was exactly 4×6, so the 6 2\u201d blocks fit inside the edges perfectly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I painted chalkboard edges with blue acrylic paint (make sure to mask off the inside so it doesn’t get painted)\u00a0and used rub-ons to decorate the inside of the chalkboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I cut 5 – 4×6 pictures into 2\u201d squares and mod-podged (is that a word????) them to the 2\u201d wooden squares. I had to trim a couple of the pictures after I had glued them on because the blocks were a little off so I just clipped them off with scissors.\u00a0 I wrote a note on a 4×6 piece of coordinating patterned paper and cut it into 2\u201d squares and mod podged it to the squares also.\u00a0 Let dry, arrange on the chalkboard and\u00a0tied it off with a ribbon.<\/p>\n
