Rustic Valentine’s Day Decor DIY Wall Art

I love using found items around the house to create art pieces for decor especially for the holidays since those items only have a shelf life of a month or less. I also enjoy combining rustic, natural pieces with bits of softer, more colorful items.  After playing around a bit to create this XOXO sign for this Valentine’s Day decor DIY, I was pretty happy with the final result- rough as well as sweet and sentimental, just like my hubby.  I hope you enjoy this rustic Valentine’s Day decor.

Valentine’s Day Decor DIY- XOXO Rustic Sign

Supplies Needed:

  • rough cut board approximately 6”-8” x 20”- 24”
  • 2 colors of  twine
  • 2 mason jar rings
  • 6 buttons
  • 4 thin twigs approximately 5”-6” long
  • hot glue gun/sticks

How To Make Rustic Valentine’s Day Sign:

Lay out your design to be sure your board is long enough to accommodate 2 mason jar rings and the twigs you selected for x’s.

If desired sand board slightly to reduce your chances of splinters. Once I was done making my XOXO sign, it went on my  mantle out of the way of little fingers, so I left it as is.

Hot glue the end of your twine to the back of the board about an inch from the edge. Press twine into glue using a craft stick or something similar and allow to harden for 1 minute so it is secure.

Wrap twine around board 6-8 times 2” from the bottom, tucking end under or glueing it on, repeat on the top of the board.

Repeat entire process with a contrasting color of twine.

Break 2 of your sticks in half use 1 full stick and 2 half sticks to form your X, run hot glue all along stick, press into board just below twine.

Apply a generous amount of hot glue all the way around the top side of mason jar ring on the flat part of it and press your O onto board just below the X.

Repeat with your other X and O.

Attach 3 large buttons with hot glue across top and bottom of board.

Your Rustic Valentine’s Day Decor is ready to go!

Conclusion

You can nail a wire or circle hanger to the back of your board for hanging on the wall. However, I just leaned my Valentine’s Day Decor DIY sign against the wall it is a temporary decoration.  

You can also place it on your mantle. Then add a few candles to either side of your rustic Valentines decor craft for easy, rustic decor appeal.  I hope you enjoy making your Valentine sign.  I’d love to see how your finished piece looks so tag @familyfocusblog when you share it socially!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
