Let Freedom Ring block signs

Nothing is more patriotic than the American flag. While making my 4th of July decorations I wanted to remember what the holiday is about and why we celebrate it. When I decided to make these signs I choose let freedom ring since it says it all. I cannot wait to add these block signs to my decor to help remind us of the true meaning of Independence Day. I love to use the Rae Dunn inspired font to make my block signs.

 

Cut scrap boards and vinyl words

Just a few quick steps and your signs are finished.



  • Grab your free download for the designs (words) HERE
  • Cut your wood scraps into 4", 4.5" and 8" lengths (I used 2 by 4 scraps) sand the cut edges
  • Paint the blocks (I used chalk paint)
  • I used my Cricut Maker and cut the words out of vinyl, but you can use graphite paper and trace the words and paint them on with a Sharpie paint marker.
  • If using vinyl you will need to remove the excess vinyl from around the design.
Wood blocks are painted and ready for words

Once you have painted the blocks of wood allow to dry (I used chalk paint and it dried in minutes) now you are ready to either trace your design on the painted blocks with graphite paper, or if you are using vinyl use transfer tape to apply your vinyl design to blocks.

Red, white and blue signs with flags

These super easy and cute block signs are some of my favorite decorations for 4th of July.

This centerpiece is a combination of simply elements that make a big visual impact when group together. I added some organic elements ( lemons and eucalyptus) to the table to add more interest and summery colors, as well as the rustic floral arrangement I made with a jar and wire lid. The blocks are the star of this tablescape!

Happy 4th of July,
