Brick Craft

This is the cutest little brick! It belongs to my Mom and I wanted to share it with you. It would be so simple to make. Just paint the face of the brick and then paint a simple design on it. Personalize it for gift giving or to keep for yourself. Mom has this one sitting on the ledge, but it could be used as a door stop too.
Tie a piece of ribbon or fabric around the brick to match the painted colors.
I would suggest to go to a salvage or some where they are taking down a building and recycle the bricks. Check in the bins at the fabric or craft stores where they sell small pieces of ribbon or fabric to use with this craft.
