How to Make Hanging Christmas Cedar Closet Blocks
I’ll put the printable version of the instructions below. Keep this page open and follow along or scroll down to print.
For the Gingerbread Man Closet Block
- Using a pencil, trace the gingerbread cookie cutter onto one or both sides of one of the cedar planks.
- Use the white paint pen to cover the pencil marks and decorate the arms, face, and accents.
- Use hot glue to attach a mini bow tie for each gingerbread.
For the Reindeer Closet Cedar Block
Glue the nose and muzzle wood pieces to the center bottom of the plank under the eyes.
Paint a wood ornament tan and a smaller one in red. Let dry and glue the red onto the tan to the center top.
Use the garland ties to create antler shapes and the staple gun and staples to affix them to the back of the plank. Cover the back with a piece of felt (hot glue or staple in place).
Draw two eyes with the black paint pen and add reflections with the white pen.
