Today was another gorgeous day out on the Eastern plains of Colorado. I think the family could just feel it, as we were all up earlier than normal and ready to be outside!
We stopped by the garage to do a little spray painting for Sayble’s room (told you I wasn’t quite done) and while we were there, I found some excess pieces of wood from the shelves Wrex made to hold her bunny baskets. The project bug bit me and I had him cut them into squares for me while I grabbed some paint and made a heart template.
I decided to make them into conversation heart blocks – easy, peasy!
Step 1: Cut or find some square pieces of wood and make a heart template.
I grabbed a piece of cardstock, folded it in half, cut a half heart and then continued shaping it down until it fit the boards I was working with.
Step 2: Trace the heart on your boards.
Step 3: Paint your heart.
I really like painting barnwood because it’s usually so dry, the paint dries really quickly!
Step 4: Once dry, paint on your phrases.
I wanted these to look like the little (nasty) conversation hearts that you always received WAY too many of growing up. I did “be mine, ” “love u,” and “hug me” though there are tons of other options – thank you, Google.
Step 5: Display and marvel at your handiwork.
A sweet, simple project for V day!
