Vintage Crackled Blocks

March 27, by Alissa. 1 Comment

milk_carton_blocks.jpgThe folks at VintageImageCraft.com generously share images, tips and tutorials for creating vintage illustration crafts, such as these cool crackled blocks made from used milk cartons. (They even instruct you how to create your very own crackled finish instead of buying it off the shelf!) These blocks would look great on the mantel year-round — just change them out according to the season. While you’re visiting the website, be sure to check out the adorable retro magnets made from bottle caps.

    Aren’t you a gem? Thanks so much for featuring our antique block craft. All the block crafts I had seen before started with “buy wood blocks” and I thought there had to be a better way. The milk carton idea came from elementary school, when we made rectangular building blocks the same way (great craft for kids, by the way). Anyway, I hope your readers make some for themselves. Happy crafting to you.
