Hello Sweet Friends,
With Valentines Day fast approaching, I have another quick and easy DIY for you: a Dollar Tree Valentine Heart sign. And, of course, this project is in neutral colors rather than the traditional red and pink. So really, it could be used year-round if you desire.
Nearly all of the supplies used in this project were from Dollar Tree, with the exception of a few of the ribbons and the little arrow. One of the items I used for this project was a DT wall tile. I just LOVE the way they look for just about any project; they give any DIY a sort of vintage vibe.
I hope you like this Valentine DIY as much as I do. Follow along as I show you just how easy it is to create.
Supply list
- DT wooden heart shape cut-out
- DT wall tile
- pen/pencil
- scissors
- Waverly chalk paint in the color plaster
- paint brush
- Waverly antique wax
- various ribbons and other embellishments
- DT burlap flower
- scrabble tiles spelling out BE MINE
- glue gun
This Valentine project was begun by tracing the heart shape onto the wall tile and then cutting it out. I find it easier to trace on the back side of the tile because it is flat; then I just peel off the back layer after it is cut out.
Then I hot glued the wall tile heart to the wood heart sign.
Now if you have been following me for very long, you already know that I my favorite paint is Waverly chalk paint in the color plaster. I use it for so many of my DIY projects. This one is no exception. So for the next step, I painted the wall tile heart with the plaster-color paint.
Two coats of paint were necessary for good coverage with dry time in between. Then, using Waverly antique wax, I added enough to make the heart look somewhat aged.
Then I made a messy bow out of ribbon and fabric pieces. The bow, a burlap flower, and other embellishments were glued onto the heart. Scrabble tiles spelling out “BE MINE” were also glued onto the heart. I found Scrabble tiles from Amazon; here’s my affiliate link if you are interested. https://amzn.to/3UDtfvp
Burlap ribbon from Dollar Tree glued around the edge of the heart was the finishing touch for this Valentine DIY.
The project turned out so stinkin’ CUTE! I just LOVE the neutral and vintage vibes!
I like this project so much, I can’t decide whether I should keep it or sell it in my craft booth. Hmm, pretty sure I’ll be keeping it!
I hope this Valentine heart sign project has inspired you to create something similar for your home decor. It’s was so easy and budget-friendly. Decorating your home does not have to be expensive.
Until next time….. Happy Crafting!
