Supplies:
2x4 wood cut into 2: 3.5 and 1: 4.5
sand paper
sponge brush
black craft paint
abc block fronts (mine were created using gg digitals-School Days Kit)
modge podge
Sand the rough edges of your blocks.
paint them black and let dry
Using modge podge adhere your abc fronts to the blocks using a first coat to stick them on and then a 2nd coat going over the fronts. (My fronts were created digitally in Photoshop using the kit mentioned in the supplies, but get creative...your fronts could be made a ton of ways!)
Here is the finished product! I made 4 sets and each set probably cost $.50! Can't beat that price. Throw in some apple scented hand soap and they are ready to head out the door to the fabulous teachers who have inspired my kids all year!

Those are so cute! And you don't just have to use them for teacher gifts, you could make them with a variety of letters, spell things out, etc... Love this.
