You & Me Heart DIY Wood Sign

3 Materials
Valentines’ Day inspired me to make this sign, however I plan to keep it out permanently all year round. I mean shouldn’t love be celebrated all the time :-).
I love signs and this one is so simple to make. It only uses one 1x2x8 and some scrap pressed plywood. I always save my scrap wood pieces. Some might say I go a little overboard with saving scrap pieces but for projects like these they are so perfect.
This sign only required a few supplies. I always save my scrap wood pieces and these pressed plywood scraps really come in handy for projects like these.
I glued and nailed the pressed plywood pieces to the back of the 1x2 pieces and used a square to help line up the pieces.
Now the wood backdrop is ready to be painted.
After I painted the board, I then traced a heart and painted it with gray chalk paint.
Then I created a stencil with my Silhouette to paint my words.
Then I sanded and aged it with a mixture of gray paint and water.
I love how it turned out!
