Step 1To begin, decide on the size tiles you want and cut your MDF pieces. Mine are 5x5cm (2x2") and I've got 27 in total. That was how many he managed to cut out of the scrap piece of wood. If you don't have access to a saw, you can ask at the timber yard or hardware store and they will cut the pieces for you. Alternatively, you can also buy blank wooden tiles in most craft stores.

Step 2Once they are cut out, sand the edges smooth and apply a base coat of white paint.
I used spray paint because it's nice and quick and coats evenly. Acrylic paint applied with a sponge or brush would also work fine.
Once the base coat is dry, tape from corner to corner and apply paint in te colour of your choice to one half of each tile. I applied 3 coats all up.
You don't need to stick to paint either, the blocks could also be covered in fabric, scrapbooking paper or wrapping paper cut to size. I think fabric ones would make a great gift for a quilting friend...these blocks totally remind me of quilting squares!

Step 3Once the paint had dried, peel the tape off and enjoy!
