Weathered Wood Sign

I wanted something a little "aged" to put on my mantle for Valentine's Day so I whipped up this weathered wood heart sign last week.

I started by tearing apart this old weathered crate.  I've used it on the porch in the fall but it was starting to fall apart and the wood was perfect for my project.

I lined up several pieces and hot glued them to two boards on the back.  Quick and simple.  Then I white washed them with some craft acrylic.

 

 

 

Last I painted a heart on with acrylic then sanded it down to give it a little distressing. 

 

I love how it looks on the mantle!
