Here’s how to make the Valentine’s wood tag wreath:
1. Purchase 24 wood tags.
(source here, 25 tags for $5)
2. Paint light pink:
3. Sand edges.
Print out letters, I used LoveNess Two font at 50 point.
Divide tags in half: 12 facing right, 12 facing left:
4. Line up lettering over tag and trace with ballpoint pen:
5. Paint over indent left behind by pen:
6. Apply Minwax Early American stain:
(left column is stained, right is not)
7. Add dimension to lettering with black fine point pen:
8. Add jute string:
9. Use a 12″ flat wreath form and layout tags:
10. Overlap slightly, 6 tags per each quarter of the wreath:
11. Place a little dab of hot glue on the corner of the previous tag and on the wreath form:

Your wreath is just darling! My hand is not steady enough to get the words to look that fabulous, so maybe some scrapbook letters might work best for me …
Oh, and pinning!
