This is a fun DIY that you can play with to make your own.
These rustic hearts will look pretty nestled in your home all year long.

Simply start by cutting out the shape of a heart on construction paper.

Once, you arrive at your desired shape (I took a few attempts at mine) trace your heart onto a rustic piece of barnwood…the thicker the better.

*TIP* Trace your hearts alternating, one right side up and the next upside down to maximize the number you can fit onto your board.

You are now ready to create!

Grab your gloves, your safety glasses, and a jigsaw and just follow the lines on the wood.

I was just going to leave the hearts as is…but my husband had the tin out and was cutting some smaller tin hearts.

I then traced out smaller hearts on old tin and cut.

Make sure to wear gloves!

I didn’t intend to combine the hearts together, but when I laid one of these little rusty hearts on top of my freshly cut barn wood, the look of the contrasting materials was striking.

To make sure these two stayed together, I pre-drilled holes around the perimeter of the heart and hammered small cut tacks into each hole.

And there it is… your rustic barn wood heart.

Happy Valentine’s Day
