At first glance, this block might seem a little bit intimidating, but give it a chance! It’s tons of fun and hopefully this tutorial will make you feel like you can handle it!
As an added bonus, Rob has made the Burst Block even easier to make since coming out with this tutorial. Check out his Burst Block Template HERE and download the directions for it HERE.
