Step 6: You can add a coat of mod podge to the front of the printables to seal it. The colors might run a bit so I suggest using only a small amount of mod podge and only brushing over the area once or not coating the front at all.

Step 7:Place the smaller blocks on top of the larger block and start counting down to Christmas!
