Step 2Prepare the blocks
Using ruler, straight-edge, and pencil, mark off 3" segments of the board. You can make as many blocks as you want, but the ribbon and board materials listed earlier allow for 8 3" segments.
Saw each block off. If you are a hack like me, you won't get these to be perfectly equal lengths. This project is pretty tolerant of such errors, but do your best to make them equal lengths and cut at 90 degrees.
Your blocks will no doubt have shaggy ends from the sawing. Use sandpaper and smooth the ends off. Do not round the ends -- you want to have nice square corners and flat block ends, though some slippage here is no big deal.
