Please Note: This is a paid sponsored post. All of the opinions regarding the products that I am using are my own. 

Before starting this project, I laid out the letters on the wooden board to get an idea of spacing.

Next, the white letters were placed to the side to sand the edges and rough spots.

The wood may have some rough spots. You can take a sanding sponge or sanding block to smooth out the edges or any rough spots.

I also had to use the sanding sponge later to remove some unwanted glue.

The raw wood is really going to suck in the paint. For this project, I am using Dixie Belle Paint’s Fiery Sky Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint®. It is a beautiful deep red. To apply it on the surface of the wood, I used the Smooth Roller Kit. It will help me to glide the paint on for a beautiful smooth finish.

I will not need to prime first. This remarkable paint combines a primer, paint, and topcoat into one formula, streamlining your painting process. Also, the Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint is the built-in topcoat. There is no need to apply wax or a topcoat.

This project will require two to three coats of paint. Allow the paint to dry at least 1-2 hours before applying the second coat. Paint the edges in the same color. I applied two coats of paint on the back and three coats on the front of the sign.

You can find a pack of wooden craft hearts at Hobby Lobby for $1.99, less than 40%, and they were $1.19. The box of mini hearts was $2.49, less than 40%, and they were $1.49. That’s not bad, and you can use them for other projects!

The large and small hearts are painted with an artist’s brush in Fiery Sky. The medium size heart is painted in Prickly Pear. The hearts will require two coats of paint. I did not paint the backs.

The letters were already white, so I decided not to paint them. If you want to paint them in Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint, I recommend the colors White Cap (purer white) or Oyster (grayish white that works great, too).

Line up the letters on the board. Do not center the letters from the top and bottom. If you are using it on the porch, you want to see the words leave approximately 5 or 6 inches at the bottom.

Now it is time to glue the letters to the board.

Add a generous amount of E6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive Glue to the back of the letter. Try not to get the glue too close to the edge of the letter.

Place the letter back on the board in position (you can use a pencil to mark where to place your letters).

Why don’t you want the glue close to the sides? As you can see in the photo above, I used too much glue on one letter.

With a sanding sponge or sanding block, lightly sand the area to remove the glue without removing all of the paint. You may need to take an artist’s brush to touch up the area.

Here is where you can be creative. You can embellish your letters with hearts, faux flowers, buttons, etc. A painted heart with pink or red glitter would look beautiful. A faux rose could be hot glued to the letter “O” or used to outline a letter.

I chose to paint wooden hearts and stack them together. In lieu of the small center heart, try adding a large black button to make the colors pop. There are many creative ways to decorate your sign.

You can use your hot glue gun to add a dab of glue to the pink heart and place it in the center of the large red heart. Next, add some glue to the small red heart back and place it in the center of the pink heart.

Now add a dab of hot glue to the back of the heart and press it on the letter “O.” Hold it in place for about a minute.

I made a simple bow from a wired ribbon. Around the center loop, I tied a 1/2″ Valentine’s ribbon with hearts and gingham plaid to hang down as streamers. I trimmed any ribbon tails that were too long, trying to keep them in varying lengths cut at an angle.

This bow has a red sparkle and lovely fringe with some gold metallic running through it. I love the Valentine’s ribbon as streamers on the bow.

Here is the adorable DIY Valentine’s Porch Sign placed on the fireplace mantel. I love how it adds a pop of color against the white mantel and marble surround.

The sign looks gorgeous on the porch. My tree may need some hearts or Valentine’s ribbon bows added to it.

I love how easy this project was to make for the house! It’s well made, too, and will last for many years.

I hope you will try to make a porch sign for your home. If you do, be sure to let me know and send me a photo. I would love to see it.

Do you know someone going through a tough time? Have you seen these giving pillows? I have one, and it is wonderful. The weight of the pillow even replicates the feeling of a real hug. The pillow is 11 x 2 x 10 inches—the perfect size for hugging. You can also heat it in the microwave or cool it in the fridge for use when you need to ease inflammation.

I sometimes lay in bed and wrap my arms around it when feeling anxious or needing some quiet comfort.

There is also a shawl, throw, and socks available. These products are intended to “Lift the Spirit”—in times of celebration, when comfort is needed, or just to put a smile on someone’s face. 

Enjoy your day, sweet friend!
