If you’re looking for Valentines Decorations – then why not try making a hand painted Valentines Porch Sign from a fence board or pallet. It will make for a great welcome as part of your Valentines Day Porch Decor. Transform a a cheap piece of common board with some stain and a Cricut.
To make this, you can paint your preferred wood in white – and you can print letters from the computer to use as templates for your writing. You can then add the wording “Be Mine” and paint hearts too.
Supplies
- Wooden board (about 4-5 feet tall)
- White paint (for the base)
- Black and pink acrylic paint or vinyl lettering
- Paintbrushes or foam rollers
- Heart stencil or cut-out
- Painter’s tape (optional for clean lines)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Board
Sand the wooden board to smooth out any rough spots.
Paint the entire board with white paint and allow to dry.
Step 2: Add the Lettering
Use black paint for the “Be” and a heart stencil for the black heart.
Paint the letters MINE in pink for a bold contrast.
If you prefer, use vinyl cut-outs instead of paint for cleaner lettering.
Step 3: Add Finishing Touches
Once the paint is dry, apply a sealant if you’re placing the sign outdoors to protect it from the weather.
Pair the sign with a floral wreath, heart decorations, or a cute doormat to complete the look!
