I love Harry Potter and I’m passing that love down to my kiddos.
One of the best things about the stories is that they bring people together in real life. I have a Deathly Hollows sweatshirt and, I swear, every time I wear it, strangers will comment on it multiple times.
Why? Because it’s a common interest that brings people from all different ages and backgrounds together. That’s pretty special if you ask me.
How could I not want to infuse some of that wonder and magic into my home?
That’s exactly why I love this simple Harry Potter quote wood block with the profoundly beautiful quote from Sirius Black (who else bawled when he died?). It’s a wonderful decoration that embodies something I want my kids to know and remember throughout their lives.
Materials for Harry Potter Quote Wood Block
1x3x8 wood (Cut into a 6 inch block)
1 Sheet White Oracal 651 Sticker Vinyl
Sand Paper
Paint Brush
Step 1
Start by cutting the wood into a 6 inch square if it isn’t already. Then use sand paper to rub around the edges to smooth out the wood.
Step 2
After your wood block is ready, place it on the plastic drop sheet. Now paint the block with your gray chalk paint.
Let it dry for about an hour or two before moving on.
Step 3
Next, open Cricut Design Space and start a new project. On the canvas screen, click to upload the png or svg file.
Step 4
Once your upload is available, add it to the canvas and make it 5 1/2″ inch by 1.34″ to fit the wood sign.
Step 5
Next, place the white vinyl on your blue Cricut mat. Load it into your machine and click “Make It”. Set your machine to cut on vinyl setting and cut out your design.
Step 6
After your design is cut, unload your cutting mat from your machine and weed the design with your weeding tool.
For projects like this, I like to keep the designs basic for easy weeding since these wood blocks are small.
Step 7
Next, use the transfer tape by placing the same size piece over the design. Then use your scraper tool to go over the design and make sure it is attached to the transfer tape.
Step 8
Lastly, remove it slowly from your vinyl backing and place it on the wood block. Again, go over it well with the scraper tool. Then, slowly pull back on the transfer tape, making sure the design sticks to your wood block as you do.
Tips and Tricks
If you use the .PNG image, when you upload it to Cricut Design Space it will take you to the page to remove the background. I’ve already removed the background for you so there is no need to do anything to it. Simply click continue and then “Save as Cut Image” on the right to be able to add it to your canvas.
If gray and white aren’t your style, you can easily customize this to fit the color scheme you want. Simply choose a different paint color for your wood and/or vinyl color for your quote.
