You can pick up cinder blocks in different shapes and sizes at the home store for about $1 a piece. The size I used is 8 x 8. Let’s be honest, cinder blocks are not pretty. But they definitely can be pretty with a little paint and a stencil, or even a free hand design.
I started by wiping off as much dust as possible from the cinder blocks. Then I decided to try using painters tape to create a design on one side. I used metallic, white and a bright red/orange for a pop of color and also to go with the flowers I bought. Just use the foam brush to slowly paint under the painter’s tape for a cool design. You can also paint polka dots, or stripes. Just have fun with it
I decided to paint each side differently so I could turn them around based upon my mood. Two sides are a solid copper metallic and the other side is metallic and white striped.
If you search on Pinterest there are so many cool designs and this is actually a fun project you could do with the kiddos over the Summer. Don’t they look so cute by the front door? Under $5 for two! For more quick and easy crafts I’d love to have you stop by my blog https://ourcraftymom.com/
