20 handmade projects in 20 days...day 3. I originally picked up these tiny wood blocks for my December 20 in 20 project, but couldn't think of anything to do with them. A few weeks ago I was joking about Portlandia's 'put a bird on it' skit and how 'put a geometric shape on it' could be their next short. And then what happens? I go and paint triangles on 24 tiny wood blocks! Guilty as charged (for the record, I'm really loving this whole geometric trend). I'm not sure what I would do with these, but I could see EZ E spending hours rearranging them. They're kind of cute, eh? Thanks to N. Fallon Design Studio for sponsoring today's project. Happy commenting!

Abbey

I totally agree re: the geometric trend. I am NOT getting tired of it!
This is a great idea. I have been wanting to make my own wooden alphabet blocks. Where did you get the blocks?

What a wonderful blocks, just love them!
SO curious to know what brand/kind of paint you've used!

I buy everything I see with a geometric print on it. Tragic.
I love these!
I love the colors. i'd probably play like a kid for hours.
Love those colors, so much fun!
So cute! My daughter would love playing with these!
These are so pretty! I think I would spend hours rearranging them! And I can see them in my giant blue mason jar...
Oh! This is my very favorite project so far!
Thanks!
Actually I feel like "put a bird on it" is about two years behind the times. On the evidence of Pinterest the joke should be "put a beard on it."
Anyway, I really want to play with those blocks!
This would definitely become my new desk toy, outting BuckyBalls for 2011!
Well, at least until my kids saw them.
with two little ones at home, these would be fantastic! well...that...and i am in a total triangle phase right now! ;)

Cute. I have no idea what I'd do with them, but I want them anyways :)

I love these and also want to know where you got the tiny blocks.
These are really cute blocks! What fun to play with and arrange and rearrange. Anne, yourmainestamper
I love your geometric trend. You are so creative. I absolutely love these little blocks and can totally see my little 2 year old son loving them. He is into shapes these days and we would have so much fun creating different shapes and well I can think of endless games for him. Also imagine them on an entry console/table maybe in a little box displayed like dominos.

I *need* these! My life consists of waaaay too many boring conference calls and these would be the perfect not totally distracting distraction.
Love them! If I win these, then I won't have to make them myself!
I don't know who would play with these more, me or my daughter! Love the colors!
WOW. my favorite! what a classy little toy for the little bean! well, one day.
love, love, love.
so fun! i love the colors!

PERFECT desk toy, or coffee table toy, or toddler toy, or forever kid toy. Just wonderful.
Would love for my little ones to play with these!! They are just beautiful! :-)
Love the geometric shape trend. It's just so fun! Would love to have these in my office to play around with when I'm bored.

These are wonderful. They look like such fun to play with.
Very, very cool. I just designed a triangle applique t-shirt, so I'm definitely riding the geometric bandwagon these days.
I love the colors! Also, I am not ashamed to say that I love geometric patterns and I don't think I'll ever get tired of them!
these are so cool! i could imagine myself playing with them for hours! :)
fantastic.
those are amazing! I think they would look stunning on a mantle piece or bookshelf.
It's just possible that I love this one most of all!
Nice color scheme. Triangle is the best shape. Perfect for on a desk or coffee table.
Omg!!!!!!
I LOVE!!!!!!! These!!!!!!
Please let me win please let me win please let me win
Looks like a great way to keep my high school students occupied when they are finished with their art projects-arranging and re-arranging into different patterns. Fun!
So nice!
I love these! They would be so fun for my almost three year old (or myself) to play with! And I'm from Portland, does that count for anything?
Shell art is OVER!
Love these! Geometric shapes and bright colors are my favorite things right now...
My son would have hours of fun with these!
My two kids would "organize" them.
delightful - as usual!
Loving it. Little one on the way. Perfect gift to give to the little nugget that pops can enjoy as well.
i adore them!
I love these! They would look sweet on a shelf.
perfect play (pun totally intended) of pattern and colour. Love!
These blocks make my heart happy!
I am looking for something beautiful, handmade, and colorful for my desk. I can play with these for just a few minutes each day to relieve stress, an interactive art piece. The color choices are spot on, great job.
my one year old would adore these- so lovely!

Great idea. Seems like a good pre-math game.
Cheers from Utah

I think my son would love these! So cute!

Wow! Ya'll like wooden blocks! :) Thank you for your lovely comments. The blocks are from our local craft store- the wood aisle is my new best friend. The only brand acrylic paint that I like for projects like these is Folk Art. I've tested TONS. Folk Art rarely dries up and goes on smoothly. xo, Abbey

this is awesome-- we're figuring out wedding things to do for the kids table and this is inspiring!
YOWZA! These are amazing! So pretty!
I wish I was sponsoring today. I love those blocks! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
20 in 20 project is such a great idea. Well done. x
I actually used to have blocks like these when I was younger. Small wooden blocks with two triangles on each side.
I like all the different colors of yours though. Very cute! :)
