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.
