I have been spending time browsing through Pinterest and found so many good ideas for Home Decor display items.
One of the design decor ideas that I mentioned in a recent post that I will be adopting for the home will Geometric Designs, and I spotted this item; Geometric Blocks that I really liked.
The only limitation is that most of these things are available in US and it can get rather costly to get them shipped to Singapore 
So I decided to make my own version of Geometric blocks.
Plain wooden blocks can be easily found at Daiso, and it is sold in a pack of 12 for SGD $2, so I bought 3 packs of 32 blocks and together with these other materials,
Materials needed to make Geometric Blocks;
32 Wooden Blocks
Sandpaper
Gouche or Acrylic Paint
Brushes and a Paint Palette
Washi tape or masking tape
1. Sandpaper the surface of the wooden blocks, before paint is applied
2. Use washi or masking tape and tape on a block cross diagonally to create a triangular shape
4. Apply paint on the triangular area on the block, taking care not to let paint drip to the sides of the block
5. Paint triangles on all 32 blocks on all six sides, one colour at the time.
6. There you have it, Geometric Blocks. Each block has 6 sides to it, so you can select a colour palette of 6 different shades that are complementary to one another.
As I went with 32 cubes, of 6 sides each, it can work out to quite a number of sections on total number of cubes to paint. Then the cube was finished with a paint setting spray.
This project (including drying time for the paint) was completed in 2 sessions of 2 hours each. Rather time consuming, but the final outcome of the decor item was worth the effort.
There are likely many permutations of geometric patterns that can be created with 32 blocks with 6 sides each, and I haven’t found the time to explore how much patterns can be created with this.
But I love this decor item as it is interactive, and not static like most decor items or shelving displays.
And most of all I made it myself!
