LDS Temple Block – I’m Going There Someday

Awhile back I was at YW Presidency Meeting at a friend’s house and saw a cute little something on her entertainment center. As I got closer, I saw that it was a block with the temple on it with some cute little ribbon. I just loved it. It was a gift from her Mother-in-Law, and I asked if I could take a pic so I could “copy” it one day. Fast forward a few days and I was asked to teach an Enrichment in August about family, and I was told I could make it a craft (WOO HOO!). As I was trying to think of cute but inexpensive crafts, I thought of this temple pic. It just so happens, that my hubby went and took a pic of the temple and antiqued it for a Christmas Gift a few years back. With his magical skills, he added some text for me, and Voila:

Mesa, AZ Temple

Since then (and with YOUR help) we’ve been able to antique a ton more temple pics:

Atlanta, GA Temple

Louisville, KY Temple

Korea Temple

Columbia River, WA Temple Lubbock, TX Temple

Redlands, CA Temple

Dallas, TX Temple

Provo, UT Temple

Snowflake, AZ Temple

Sydney, Australia Temple

Spokane, WA Temple Chicago, IL Temple

San Diego, CA Temple

Seattle, WA Temple

Idaho Falls, Temple

Frankfurt, Germany Temple

Draper, UT Temple

Bountiful, UT Temple

Boise, ID Temple

Albuquerque, NM Temple

San Antonio, TX Temple

Oquirrh, UT Temple

Portland, OR Temple

Las Vegas, NV Temple

Las Vegas, NV Temple

Fresno, CA Temple

Ogden, UT Temple

Lima, Peru Temple Brisbane, Australia Temple

Laie, Hawaii Temple

Twin Falls, ID Temple

Manti, UT Temple

St. Louis, MO Temple Oakland, CA Temple Gila Valley, AZ Temple St. George, UT Temple Orlando, FL Temple Sacramento, CA Temple Manti, UT Temple Jordan River, UT Temple Cardston Alberta Temple Medford, OR Temple Los Angeles, CA TempleRexburg, ID Temple Vancouver BC, Canada Temple Mt.

With the pic and a few other supplies, we were able to make a super cute craft that is adorable and affordable.

SUPPLIES: -Wood – 4.75 x 7 inches (1.5 in. thick) -Paint -Sand Paper -Temple Pic -Mod Podge -Rubbon & Tulle

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut wood piece to 4.75 in. x 7 in. and paint.

2. When dry sand edges to distress.

3. Print out pic to 4×6 size on computer or take to Kinkos and have it laser printed for a better quality pic.

4. Mod Podge pic onto block centering a little more to the left.

5. Tie ribbon tulle on the right side.

Like I said, adorable, quick, and mostly affordable. The whole thing costs about $2 a block – not too shabby if I say so myself. This will just be ONE of the crafts we make for the August Enrichment, so check back for the other one next week. :)

P.S. Since my hubby is the BEST-EST, he said that he would “antique” other temple pics that you’ve (can’t be professional ones) taken and add the text to them, and then we will add those temple pics back to this post to share for everyone. That being said, if you have pictures of “your” temple, send them my way and we will make them look super cool!

PICS MUST BE: 1 – Not Copyrighted 2 – At least 1,000 KB 3 – Horizontal (Landscape) 4 – Not duplicates of other temples already on here (Wish we had all the time to edit everyone’s “pic”, but we just don’t have the time) :(

My Email: mylilluna@gmail.com

Since this is such a fun craft, I decided last minute that I would do a GIVEAWAY for it.

    Hi there! These are amazing! Thank you and your hubby! I wanted to use these for 30-40 sisters in my ward if that is ok, for an upcoming lesson.

  136. This is so great. I love it-I want to make one for my house. By the way just thought I would let you know it's "Columbia River, Washington"

  137. Do you happen to have a picture of the Boise Temple or the Twin Falls temple? I want to make one with my niece. These are great.

  138. I love this idea!! You have done a wonderful job with the pictures and texture. I am wondering if you have the temple pics with out the saying on it. I would love to do it as a craft for RS instead of for the YW. SO darling!!

    What a great idea. Something to use for Young Women's or even Primary children, or just a unique gift to give. Especially for a Baptism. Thanks for sharing.

  159. ashley says:

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing!! I'll have to go take a picture of the Houston Temple now so I can try this! maybe I'll attach some ribbon on the back too for hanging in my little girl's room. yay!

  160. Becky says:

    I love your blog and this idea. Can't wait to try it! Just a side note…the picture you have labeled as the Idaho Falls temple isn't the right one. The picture looks like the back side of either the Rexburg or Twin Falls temple. Here's a link to what the Idaho Falls temple looks like. http://lds.org/temples/main/0,11204,1912-1-44-2,00.htmlThanks! Love the idea!

  161. We are so doing this for our Super Saturday. Can you tell me what font you used. I can make them myself and not bother you if you can let me know what the font was and where you got it. I can't seem to find one I like quite as much.Thanks so muchVanessaThe Sew*er, The Caker, The CopyCat Makerhttp://sewcakemake.blogspot.com

  162. Day Family says:

    I tried making these with my YW tonight and they were totally messed up! When we put thd Mod Podge on they started turning purple and green! From the ink? I printing them off of my printer like you said. How do you make them without them doing that?

    I found your blog off of a friend's blog. Darling. I have ideas for Christmas gifts now :)

  166. Vera says:

    I love this craft. One of the sisters in my ward wanted the Seattle, WA temple. I found a picture from a church website, which I believe can be copied. I was wondering how to antique it. I have photshop elements, but I can't get the lines in it. Can you tell me how, or can I forward you the picture? Thanks for your help. My email is klvrjones@yahoo dot com Thanks Vera

  167. I am doing this for a Relief Society activity and it is a big hit. There are usually about 25 sisters that come to my activities but for this one we have had over 200 temple blocks ordered! It is great — thanks so much for a wonderful craft!

  168. Jennifer Lyn says:

    Thank you thank you for sharing these! One question for you….can I blow them up bigger than a 4×6? I am thinking of hanging one on my wall.

  169. I just love this idea!!! I am in the YW Presidency and I am going to do this for my YW Christmas Gifts. I am going to figure out each of their favorites temple and do them. THANKS for the great idea!!!

  170. Oh my goodness! I love these temple blocks! I did all of the entries, your shope is too cute as well (the subway art is my favorite), I would love a Dallas, Texas temple one (thats the one we got married in) but I will totally go for the Vegas on cause that is the husbands favorite! Love your blog, I am glad I am now a follower!

  183. Jacqueline says:

    I saved this from last year, thought I might have lost it! I am so excited. We are making these at girl's camp this year. These are amazing. I will email you on these.Jacqueline

  184. QUESTION: I would love to get the Salt Lake pic developed into a large wall pic. Will it work ok to just use one of these, or do I need to do anything special to the file for it to turn out well?

  185. Leavitt's says:

    Love these blocks! I am looking for the Ukraine temple to send to my daughter for a member in Russia if anyone can help?

  186. Thank you! I just made 10 of these to give to my YW and they turned out SO cute. Thanks!!!

  187. Michelle says:

    My daughter just came home from camp with one of these temple blocks and I instantly knew where I had seen them. I had them on my to do list and now I want to make them even more! Love the temple additions.

  188. Did you use gloss or matte mod podge? How many of these blocks did you make and how much pod modge did you need? I am making these for an activity and need to get supplies. Thanks

  189. My sister has a temple block like this, and I wanted to copy it for my baby's room. I found this tutorial online and really love it! Thanks for the instructions and images!! I'll be checking your blog for more cute, fun ideas.

  190. Janet says:

    Thank you for taking so much time to make these prints and offering them for free. I've been looking for a craft that we could do for an activity at no charge, and I think this would be perfect. This is so very much appreciated!

  191. Robyn says:

    This is FANTASTIC! Thanks so much. And 1 question- do you have any idea how to "Texture" the picture after its m'podged on the wood?

  192. Would love to see the Houston, TX Temple on there. I would like to make these for my kiddos. What a great idea and tutorial!! Thanks for sharing!!

  193. Gennie says:

    I cannot WAIT to try this out for our October Super Saturday Activity! I get to make a few this week for our samples to show this Sunday!

  194. Stacys says:

    I love this idea! I can't wait to make my own. You make it look fabulous! I was wondering if you could email me the SLC temple. I have tried to save it and it won't save as a jpeg file. Thank you so much!!! Addamsclan@aol.comStacy :)

  195. Thank you for sharing all of these pictures! I absolutely love this and will definitely find a reason to make this craft!

  196. This is exactly what my ward wants me to do for Super Saturday. I was so excited to find this project through Pintrest. Is there any way you have the Vernal,UT temple? That's where we live. Please email me if you could help…nielsonfam03@gmail.com

  201. Becca says:

    Thank you so much! This is just awesome!

  202. Christy says:

    This is such a great idea! What font did you use for the text on the picture? I'd like to use it for a non-antiqued picture! :) Thanks!

  203. These are amazing! I've been wanting to put a picture of the temple in my daughter's room and I was hoping you had the San Diego or Bountiful temple and you had both! Now I have to choose… Or maybe I'll just do both. :-) Thanks for the prints!

  206. fourangels says:

    I am in LOVE with the pictures. A friend passed your blog on to me because we are doing this very thing in my Ward. Actually I'm in charge of it and have been scouring the net for pics. I have a question… we are making our pics 12×16 . When I tried to download to the Sam's site it said the resolution wasn't recommended. Can you help with this?

  207. I got what you specify, thanks for swing up. Woh I am gladsome to encounter this website through google. Thanks For Share Tutorial Tuesday – Temple Block “I’m Going There Someday” Lil' Luna.

  208. Lynleah says:

    I love this! I wanted the font and found one on Dafont.com called Scriptina that looks like it is the same. Thank you for the great idea. I’m making these for Christmas presents.

  209. Alyssa says:

    Hi! What a gorgeous craft. I’m hoping to do these as Christmas gifts for people who have been married in the temple. Do you have the pics without the wording? I’m hoping for Salt Lake, Jordan River, and Timpanogos temples. Thanks in advance!

  210. Karen says:

    When I save the Medford, OR; Rexburg, ID; and Spokane, WA; temples to my computer ….. it won’t let me open them. Is there a trick to this? All the other ones that I have saved work just fine. I am 1st Counselor in YW and we are going to make these Temple Blocks for the YW for their birthdays in 2012. THANK you for sharing!

  211. Karen says:

    I am looking for the Fort Lauderdale Temple and also Logan – please let me know if you could possibly do these two!
    Thank you!
    Karen

  212. danielle says:

    just happened upon this post via pinterest. this is awesome! i’m so glad i found it. and your blog too! thank you!!! will repin for all my friends, they’ll love it.

  213. Bryn says:

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. We’re going to make these for the YW for their birthdays this year. I actually made them vertical because out of all the pics we had of the Boston Temple we liked one that was vertical best. It still turns out way cute. I can send you a pic if you like. Thanks again!!

  214. Kelli says:

    Do you have any pictures of the Billings, MT temple. I would love to make these for my young women girls for their birthdays this year. Thanks, Kelli

  215. Kelly says:

    Can you make this with picture paper?? I ordered pictures from shutterfly to do this without reading carefully that you used inkjet regular paper!! Silly me!!

    • Lil' Luna says:

      Picture paper should be work fine as well. It was just cheaper to print on regular paper, but photo paper should work. Let me know how it goes. :)

      • Kelly Fox says:

        I made 2 one small and one bigger. They both came out well. I wouldn’t recommend touching the photo paper until dry. I had one little scratch from my nail and the color came off. But it was so small I took a marker and fixed it. No one can tell! thanks for all you do!!

  216. Ann Good says:
