DIY XOXO Letters

These DIY XOXO letters are simple to make! When I first decided I wanted xoxo wooden letters for my Valentine’s Day décor, I thought I might have to make the wood letters myself. However, I started searching for xoxo décor and found these at Target!  The best part was the price was only $5.  They came as unfinished wood craft letters and were exactly what I was hoping for.

Step 1: Tape Design

Since I was able to purchase the letters, this valentine craft became super simple real quick!  I started by using painters tape to create my design.  I wanted the letters to be subtle valentine home décor pieces, so I wanted to do a white and natural wood look.

Step 2: Paint

With the wooden letters taped, I was ready to start painting. I painted the sections I wanted white and allowed the letters to dry.

Step 3: Apply Finish

Once the letters had dried, I removed the tape.  Then I using a paint brush, I applied a Poly Finish over the entire letter.  This applied a finish to ensure the white paint did not chip and gave the wood a shiny, natural look.
