Hello Sweet Friends,
Today, I have another awesome DIY project for you: it’s a Dollar Tree Valentine sign. This DIY is so EASY and budget-friendly, that I know you’ll LOVE it! Did I mention it’s super CUTE too?
The truth is that I’ve had most of the supplies for this project in my craft stash for a while now. I guess I was waiting for the perfect idea to strike me. And with Valentines Day just around the corner, I thought it was high time to get creative with these supplies.
Without further ado, let’s get going on this easy Valentine craft.
Supplies needed
- Dollar Tree plain round wood sign
- Dollar Tree love heart wood cut-out
- white paint
- sheet of scrapbook paper/card stock
- pen
- scissors
- glue gun
- narrow lace ribbon
- wide lace ribbon
- pearls, optional
- floral and foliage embellishment, optional
The first step for this project was to paint the heart-love cut-out with white paint. I started painting the white paint with a brush, but that ended up being too tedious. So I ended up using white spray paint; it was much quicker and easier.
While the paint was drying, I moved onto the round wood sign. Originally I was going to paint it red, but I had this beautiful sheet of red textured scrapbook paper that was the perfect size; I just had to cut it to fit the sign. So I traced the circle onto the paper and cut it out.
The red circle was then attached to the round sign with Mod Podge. While I was waiting for the Mod Podge to dry I moved on to the next step.
After centering and hot-gluing the heart onto the round sign, I glued some narrow lace ribbon around the edge. (I found this lace ribbon at Walmart).
Then I tied a lace bow out of wide lace ribbon, and glued it onto the sign. A few florals and greenery were also glued into the bow. And pearl embellishments were added to the sign. (Pearls were purchased from Dollar Tree).
And I am very pleased with how this turned out. Even though this conflicts with my tendency towards decorating with neutrals. The red looks very bold and refreshing in the midst of all of my neutral decor; perfect for Valentines Day decor.
I hope this Dollar Tree Valentine sign idea inspires you to get creative, use BOLD colors, and make something beautiful to decorate your home; not just for Valentines Day but for everyday.
Until next time…… Happy Crafting!
XOXO
