Last year, I created a small blue Valentine vignette in our home.
{key to my heart wreath}
The thing about this wreath is I can leave it up a little longer since it shares my March birthstone color. 🙂X’s & O’s decorative accent tutorial
I decided to do some X’s and O’s for Valentine’s Day. Hugs and Kisses are always a great accessory, right? 🙂
Materials:
- Cardboard x’s and o’s
- Deco Art Americana acrylic craft paint {White Wash and Desert Turquoise}
- Deco Art Victorian Baroque Border Stencil
- Sanding block
1. I gave my letters two coats of paint and let dry.
2. I sanded the edges for a worn/vintage look.
3. Add decorative touches using a stencil.
That’s it!
What do you think? That’s a DIY photo backdrop…but for all you know, it could be a beautiful wall in my home, right? These accessories are really displayed elsewhere in my home. 🙂
Do you decorate for Valentine’s day? This year I’m keeping it subtle…
I’m joining the party:
The “X” and “O” idea is genius. I don’t decorate for Valentines, with the exception of a table setting, because I don’t like the standard decor – but I could do this. I like the idea of being able to do it in any color as well. Love it! Have a super day!
I love the blue for Valentines Day! Thanks for showing us a new color to use….hugs, Penny
Thanks, Penny! Blue isn’t traditional for Valentine’s Day, but I love going off trend sometimes. 😉
i love using the blue! i found some block letters that my work was going to throw out, now i have to see what i can spell and paint them. hoping to do something like this.
Roeshel, I love everything about this. The color and the Fufu-ness of it! Absolutely love the background wall. Beautiful job!!!
I really like the x o’s with the subtle stencil…perfect colors for your home…
The wreath is really great and I love its colour. The XO are such a nice idea I might steal it!
I love it. The letters look really lovely and I love the little details on them. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I would display these year round. A kiss from you to you!
Hi, Roeshel
These are so beautiful! What a great idea to add the key, so sweet. Have a great day!
Hugs,
Vanessa
Such a pretty and clever wreath. Love the tutorial. It’s easy to get inspired! from your newest Linky follower, Linda
Hi, Linda! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you stopped by! 🙂
It’s beautiful and I love that you used blue! It would fit right in to my decor 😉 I haven’t made any V-day crafts yet but I’m hoping to find some time soon.
p.s. That backdrop IS cool. How’d you do that? Is it wallpaper on cardboard or something?
Your vignette is so soft and pretty and it all looks so perfect. Great job! 🙂
I love the color choice, especially as our accent color in our living room is a teal/turquoise shade. I’ll have to work this idea into my Val-Day decorating! And I love the craft ideas too. Pinning this one!
