I love creating pretty, rustic looking decor and there is no better project for Valentine’s Day then my DIY Reclaimed Wood XO’s … here is how to get started.
You Will Need:
- 16 “ floral wire heart
- Chiffon
- Hot glue
- Reclaimed wood planks
- Nail
- Bakers twine
How-To:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR O’S:
1. Take your chiffon & tie a knot at one end
2. Put knot at bottom of floral wire heart & start wrapping the rest of the chiffon around the wire heart
3. Scrunch the material together as you go
4. Once you get back down to the bottom of the heart again, tie a knot in the other end of the chiffon & stick into wire
5. Add hot glue onto knots for extra security
INSTRUCTIONS FOR X’S :
1. Take your reclaimed wood & cut the planks down to 18”. You want them to be about 2” larger than your o’s
2. Take hot glue & apply hot glue to the center of one of the planks
3. Put the other plank right on top to create the “x” shape
4. Screw in a nail in the back of the “x” for extra security
5. Take bakers twine & wrap around the center a couple times, then switch angles & start wrapping that way too. Creating an “x” shape with the baker’s twine
6. Lean up your x’s & o’s up against the wall and you’re good to go
