Second day of “Love Week” and it’s all about love letters.
DIY Love Letters
The letter blocks feature junk hardware from my stash.
The JTS cut boards for me. I gathered the boards from a construction site a couple of years ago. Better to be used than to go to the landfill…right. I sanded off the rough edges.
After digging through tons of stuff I came up with these pieces for “love letters”.
I selected a bright turquoise to contrast with the rusty brown.
And then I dry brushed a light aqua over the wood. See how it highlights the details.
Hot glue held the hardware on while I found screws the right size. Using the glue works great because it holds everything in place while drilling the screws in.
This is how I roll.
Do you like the DIY Love Letters or the stenciled heart sign the best? See you tomorrow. I’m off to classes today! Thanks for stopping by,

I really like this, Kathy! I have lots of wood but that’s it — otherwise, I would try this in a heartbeat! 🙂
Andrew says
Wonderful. Great job!
Did they stand up on their own? They seem like they may be front-heavy. Is there a trick to making them stand without falling forward?
Kathy Owen says
Good eye for detail Andrew. The L and E were font heavy. I added the little bolt inside the hinge on the E and the head of the bolt was just the right depth to make the E stand up. For the L I had to add some glue dots to the bottom to make it stand up. Thanks for the comment!!
