I’ve always loved the look of a classic Bear Paw block. There’s something timeless about it—rugged, rooted, and familiar. This little wall hanging—its simplest form yet—became my way of celebrating that love. It’s small, sweet, and adds a spark of story wherever you place it. Stack a few on a feature wall or tuck one into your gallery wall for an unexpected, eye-catching moment.
This 12" × 12" wall hanging is clean, modern, and bold in its simplicity. It’s a quick make, perfect for gifting, decorating, or adding a handmade touch to your home any time of year.
