A Valentine's Day Decoration Using Scraps

This Valentine's Day craft was made entirely of scraps!

Here's a quick tutorial:

I used 3-2" 2x4. 

I used a belt sander to smooth the wood on all sides.

I painted all sides of the wood a light pink.

I cut paper to fit the fronts of the 3 pieces of wood.

I used Mod Podge as glue to attach the paper to the fronts of the three blocks.

After the Mod Podge dried, I put a layer of Mod Podge on the top of the paper and let it dry.

When it was completely dry, I sanded the edges to give it a blended/distressed look.

Using my Silhouette, I cut "XOXO"(font-Copperplate Gothic), "Adore"(font-Amazing Ruler), and "Love" (font-Waterfalls) out of red vinyl.

I positioned the vinyl on the blocks (I always use transfer tape... so much easier!)... and applied the vinyl.

I then used wood glue to glue the staggered blocks together.

After the glue was dried, I attached ribbon, using a hot glue gun.

Here's the side view.

Stay tuned for more great Valentine's Day projects!
