DIY Block Bookend Idea with Tacky Glue

This project is perfect for little ones who love story time! Keep your kids’ books organized with this ABC wooden block bookend tutorial from Craft Box Girls. This quick craft can be created easily with only two supplies: wooden alphabet blocks and Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue!

What you need:

Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue
Wooden alphabet blocks

Step 1

Gather your supplies and clean your blocks

Gather your supplies for this super simple project. Thoroughly clean your wooden alphabet blocks from any dirt or debris.

Step 2

Apply glue to blocks

Apply Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue to the sides of your wooden alphabet blocks. Keep an eye on which side you’re applying glue—for this project, we want the sides with letters and numbers facing forward.

Step 3

Stack blocks to create bookends

Build your wooden alphabet block bookends! You’ll want to stack them in a pyramid-like shape as shown below. The bottom layer should have 6 blocks, the middle layer should have 3, and the top should have 1.

Step 4

Allow glue to dry completely and display your bookends

Once the glue has dried completely, your new bookends are ready to go! Since Aleene’s Turbo Tacky Glue dries 50% faster than our original formula, you won’t have to wait too long before displaying your wooden alphabet block bookends.
