Step 5: Piece together

In order for it to look like the blocks are floating on the wall i wanted the attachment to be as hidden as possible.
so i used nails on the inner side of the blocks.
1. cut the head of the nails so you can use both ends.
2. drill holes for the nails, i used 2 nails so it will be stable
3. insert the nails in the holes and attach 2 blocks together.
* to make it leveled, look at it as 3 rows attach the 3 blocks and then attach the rows together.
