“W” is for Wood Tag Wreath

January 9, 2013

Paint: Valentine’s wood tag wreath

A Valentine’s Day wreath made from small wood tags:

Each tag is painted with a different Valentine themed word:
Inspired by Ballard Designs wood beverage tags:
image from ballarddesigns.com

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:

    Yeah, this is about the MOST ADORABLE wreath I have seen! I love this whole concept. I'm wondering if I could do a "year round" type one with welcome in every language! Thanks for the inspiration. PINNING!

    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!
    🙂 Linda
