Side Quest: Craft Night - Wall Decorations
This is a really fun craft that can add a lot of fun to a game room or a kid's bedroom. It's made by gluing together bunch of one inch wooden blocks together to make your favorite 8-bit characters. For this, we made Link and an Octorok.Gear!
Lots of 1 inch wooden blocks - we got ours here!
Wood Glue
Damp Cloth
Paint and Paint Brushes
Spray Polyurethane
Quest!
First we decided our designs. We did this by simply Googling Original Zelda in Images and selecting designs that were easy to divide into pixels.
Once you have divided your picture up, count the number of blocks you will need. We laid our blocks out and arranged them. The blocks had different colors and grains of the wood, so take your time to make it nice.
Glue the blocks together and wipe any excess glue off with a damp cloth. Let dry completely.
Paint Time! Paint your blocks the way you like. Tip: If you are doing Link, Zelda, or other Hylian character, leave their skin unpainted. You may have to paint other areas more than one coat.
When completely dry, spray with polyurethane - again, two or three coats are recommended.
Attach a picture hanger on the back and hang on the wall. Tada!
We hope you enjoyed this little side quest into the craft closet.
