The wood hearts are cut from a piece of a vintage fruit crate.
This crate wasn't in good condition at all, but it did have great wood pieces.
This is the last piece of this crate. :(
Here is another project I made using the other pieces of the crate.
This project was quite simple.
I traced a heart pattern onto the wood 4 times.
Then cut out each of the hearts and drilled two holes into each one.
The wire is threaded through each heart
The ends of the wire were wrapped around a pencil to curl them.
Then the letters LOVE were painted on the hearts using a stencil.
I did add a piece of twine to hang it with.
That's it. I told you it was pretty simple.
What do your Valentines decorations consist of?
Do you go all out or just a little here and there?
I'm thinking heart shaped grapevine wreaths and
pops of red hearts for our cabin.
'til next time,
Cute and simple...love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteVery cute! I don't usually decorate for Valentines Day. That is my wedding anniversary and we tend to focus a bit more on that (I think) than it being Valentines Day. We will celebrate 21 years next month.
ReplyDeleteI am a native Floridian myself (still here). I just found your blog and I am in love already! I have only read three posts and I think your taste is very similiar to mine. Where in Florida are you from? I was born and raised in Miami. I moved to Lakeland, Florida 22 years ago. Looking forward to following your blog :)
Blessings!

Hi Sherri,
DeleteI'm so glad you've stopped by. I grew up in Sanford/Apopka area until high school and then my family moved to Jupiter, where I lived across the street from the beach until I was 33. The country life has been different and very challenging at times. It's a lot of work and the solitude got to me in the beginning, however, I love the peace and quiet now. One of my dearest friends attended Southeastern. I'm a little bit familiar with Lakeland. Happy Anniversary! 21 years - that's great. We're coming up on 7 years this June. We've had quite the ride, gutting a mobile home and redoing it to live in while we built our cabin, building his workshop (he builds guitars and mandolins, www.junemandolinsandguitars.com), building 2 outbuildings (sheds) building my workshop, building a pole barn with a guest apartment in it (currently working on completing this) and trying our hand at gardening the last 4 years, all while maintaining 15 acres of pasture/hay field (no animals though). It has been quite the change from lounging in the sun. I hope you stop by often and say hello.

Good Morning,
DeleteSo good to hear from you! Yes, I am familiar with all the parts of Florida you mentioned. I can imagine it was a shock the change. Sounds like your hands are full. As I said, I just found your blog and have been reading your posts; I love your projects and the posts about your cabin. I look forward to following your blog. Thanks for taking the time to say "hello". Thanks, for the Anniversary wishes, too! Hope you have a very blessed weekend :)
