Colorful Cubes Wall Deco!

In this Instructables, you will learn to make a colorful wall decoration out of wooden cubes!

This is a cheap, easy, flexible wall decoration that everyone in the family can help work on! The color scheme will look great on your wall as well!

• 48 pieces of Solid Wood Craft Blocks, 2-inch
• 20-40 pieces of Solid Wood Craft Blocks, 1-inch
• Wood pieces blank wood squares, 1-inch
• 1x1x0.5 Acrylic blocks (optional)
• Double-sided Mounting Squares 1x1
• Paint (Sample paints bought from Sherwin Williams) of various colors (see Step 1 design).

We want to have a beach themed color palette, with yellow sand and blue water.

There are many color choices available, but we decided to go with yellow/gold, shades of blue, and grey. For a wall decoration (or any piece of art), a mixture of individually beautiful colors do not necessarily look well together – they need to complement or coordinate nicely. Fortunately, there are many well designed color-palette available, such as the one below:

Feel free to find your own color palette!

Masked off a roughly 10 mm border on the 2-inch block, and 5mm on the 1-inch block. The reason we do not color the whole block is that when coloring all the sides, some paint might stain the wall.

Adjust the following steps as necessary for your color palette.

Color the 12 2-inch blocks grey, 12 yellow, 12 light blue, and 12 dark blue.

For 1-inch blocks, color in similar proportions of each color.

For 1-inch wood squares, use metallic silver paint.

For the optional 1-inch acrylic blocks, color some metallic silver or gold.

This part is the most fun! Use the double-sided mounting tape to glue the blocks onto the wall.

This wall is easy to adjust: you can easily just take off a block or two and stick them onto another spot!
