DIY Rustic Wall Art


My most recent project was this wooden heart that I purchased from Michael's months ago.  It was wooden and attached to twine and (if you know anything about me), that was all I needed to convince me to buy it.  Sadly, it had been sitting in my craft box for a long time before I transformed it.


So, here's how I did it:

First, after perusing Pinterest for a bit, I found a quote that I thought would suit my project well.  "I will love you with my whole heart for my whole life," I decided, was the best fit.  So, then, I went to my Silhouette Studio, started creating, and this is what I ended up with:


After sizing it up and cutting it out, I painted my wooden heart in the area that I was going to be placing the letters.  Initially, I thought that I wanted my lettering to be white and I wanted my wood to be brown, but I changed my mind towards the end.  No harm, no foul.

 

 

Finally, I placed my design on the wood and peeled it off.  Voila!  I then realized that I liked the brown lettering and decided to just paint the rest of the wood white also. :)

I must say that I am very happy with how all of my projects are coming out.  I am just so in love with the rustic look and (thankfully) we had a rustic wedding, so it all works together with my wedding decor.  So, this is the wall.  (ie. the beginning of my awesome collage of wedding photos and homemade decor).
