Glue 7 craft blocks together with craft glue and stagger them by one centimetre. Allow the blocks to dry thoroughly so that they remain stable and firmly attached to each other. The offset creates an interesting visual effect and gives your project a unique structure.
Glue 2 x 2 satinised acrylic blocks to each other with a small offset. Cover them with pressed flowers to your heart's content - you can let your creativity run wild here. Then place clear acrylic blocks on top to create an attractive layered effect. Attach a wooden block to each side using craft glue. Make sure that everything dries well.
Next, you need the template, which you download and print out. Use graphite paper to transfer the lettering to the 7 connected craft blocks. Then insert the branding pen with a fine tip. After about five minutes of heating, you can trace the template and give the blocks a personalised design and then glue the remaining blocks to the side pieces to complete your wooden block ring. Give the glue enough time to dry. Then turn the blocks over and position the metal ring on the back. Fix this in place with craft glue too. Let everything dry thoroughly here too.
Now the magic comes into play: Glue the micro LED fairy lights to the back of the block ring using hot glue. This will provide atmospheric lighting later. Turn the ring round and attach decorative sprinkles such as butterflies to the metal ring using hot glue. These little accents make the workpiece shine and radiate spring magic.
Finally, attach the ribbon to the metal ring for hanging.
