DIY Rustic Wood and Metal Family Photo Frame

I had purchased some corrugated metal letters from Hobby Lobby a while ago and decided to use them to create a rustic "family" sign that was also a photo display frame.
Here are the abbreviated instructions for how I created this sign, for a detailed tutorial and additional photos, please visit my blog using the link at the bottom of this post. First, I cut two 1/4" plywood boards to size to create the sign/photo frame backing. I then attached them together with wood glue.
Next I cut the boards to make the frame and attached them to the plywood backing using wood glue and brad nails.
I then painted the plywood backing white, and stained the frame in a dark walnut color.


Next, I attached the corrugated letters and the heart shape to the plywood backing using wood glue.
I then attached a bulldog clip to each side of the corrugated metal heart.


I added a family photo to each clip and then placed my new rustic artwork in the perfect spot!
