For the "I" - Line up five blocks, and glue them together. Wrap a rubber band around them to hold them in place. Neatness counts. The flatter they are now the less wobbly they are later.

For the "L" - Line up four blocks, glue and wrap them with a rubber band. Add one block on one end to make the "L."

For the "Y" - Line up four blocks, glue and wrap them with a rubber band. Add one block onto the block next to the end.

There is only one "gotcha" in this. When you get to the "U" piece, make sure you make it wide enough so that another piece will fit in it. Or you can sand it down after it is all glued, but why bother. Just make sure the space is big enough.

Repeat creating each of the twelve pieces. Put them away to dry overnight or so.
