Rustic Valentine Banner from Scraps

Do you decorate for Valentines Day?   I'm trying to decide if I'm going to or not. We live in a small log cabin and I've been looking for rustic ways to add a touch of LOVE for the holiday.     Here's a rustic Valentine banner that I created from scraps.  

 

 

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,
