Easy DIY Wooden Valentine Signs

Spruce up your Valentine’s decor with these simple dollar store wooden Valentine signs. These sweet Valentine signs are easy to make using dollar store supplies, and I think they look nice enough to be kept up all year round, especially in a girl’s bedroom.

Valentine Day Sign Supplies

You can make these DIY wooden Valentine signs using simple all wood frames from the dollar store. You do not even need to reverse the frame. Just paint them as they are.

• White, grey, and soft pink craft paint
• Tiny paintbrush
• Grey paint pen (optional)
• Love sign free printable pattern.
• Dollar store pre-done Valentine hearts or cardboard.
• Hot glue, or E6000.
• Pink felt ball garland or felt balls

Wooden Valentine Sign Directions

Start by painting two coats of white paint inside your wooden frame. Try not to get any on the sides. You can run a length of painter’s tape along the inside of the frame, but I just used a small paintbrush to paint along the edges. Let the paint dry between coats.

Once dry, download and print out the Love pattern. Use a pencil to trace the letters on the back of the pattern.

Center the pattern over your frame and press over the letters several times so that the pencil lead transfers onto your frame. This works because the background is white.

Using a tiny paintbrush and soft grey craft paint, or an optional grey paint pen, carefully paint over the letters.

Paint the large heart with soft pink paint. Let dry. You may want to do a second coat. I needed two coats for mine.

The pattern includes a second little heart to show the placement of a small cardboard Valentine. Using a cardboard heart helps the two small signs coordinate with each other. If you’re not making both signs, you can paint the second heart a soft cream gold or dark pink instead.

Adding a Felt Ball Garland Accent

The little swag of felt balls is made using multi coloured felt balls, strung onto a string, then glued to the back of the frame. I cut the felt balls from a long garland I have had for forever, although you can find very similar ones at the dollar store. I trimmed a small section, looped it over the front of the frame, and attached the string to the back with a staple. If you don’t have a large staple gun, hot glue or a thumb tack works just as well.

Small Wooden Valentine Sign

To make the second handmade Valentine sign, I used simple cardboard Valentines from the dollar store. If you don’t have the pre-done hearts, you can draw a simple Valentine shape on plain cardboard and cut it out.

Layer the cardboard hearts on top of each other with a little bit of hot glue between each one.

Once the cardboard Valentines are attached together, use hot glue to attach them to the back of the frame.

I love how these handmade Valentine’s Day signs turned out. They are simple, and the minimalist style makes them easy to use any time of year.
