Love-sign-from-cardboard

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and it’s one of those Holiday’s I always want to decorate for, but I never know what to do.

I live in an apartment complex and I really wanted to do something so my neighbors could “feel the love”.

Ya know the cute Valentine’s Day decor love. πŸ˜‰

I thought and though and then something hit me.Β I made this adorably cute “JOY” sign for Christmas this year. It was such a fun and easy project. And it’s super cute, right?

I had all the supplies at home to do the same exact thing and this JOY sign….so I thought what I write for Valentine’s Day?

Hmmmm…..maybe, LOVE?

Ah, yes a love sign will do.

DIY Valentine’s Day Love Sign.

Initially I was going to write LOVE and then put the lights through just the heart, or “o”.

But I loved this so much plain, I decided not to mess with it.

Here is my love sign in the window. I think my neighbors all love each other a little more. Thanks to this wonderific sign.

I have gotten many compliments on it.

How did I make it?

Haha. Well. Uh. Cardboard. Paint. and tape.

Everyone is always amazed by it.

Here is a step by step tutorial how I made it…ENJOY!

Supplies for Love Sign:

-Cardboard
-Paint
-Pencil
-Masking tape

Step by step instructions:

1. Get your cardboard.Β

I had a piece I got from Lowe’s a while back. My piece was approximately 20×30 in.

2. Paint it

Whatever color your little heart desires. I chose white and gray.

Paint it all one color first. I did white first.

3. Make your stripes

I used 2 pieces of masking tape to make thicker stripes. I also used something to make sure I was doing the right amount of space between the pieces of tape.

Once you’re done taping take your second color and paint the cardboard. (Picture above shows how I painted it. I didn’t paint the whole sign. I just painted each stripe.)

Wait a half an hour for your paint to dry then slowly take the tape off. It should not stick to the cardboard.

4. Write your word

love-sign-E

I used a pencil to write the word. I could erase it if I messed up.

After I traced over each letter with red paint.

Done. Complete.

I was able to finish this whole project while both my kids were napping. Hope you enjoy this Valentines love sign!
