How-to: XOXO Valentine Love Banner

Add a pop of vibrant color to your home decor this Valentine’s Day with an easy, adorable XOXO love banner. Created with pre-cut wooden pieces and a bit of craft paint, you’ll be delighted to see how easily this project comes together. Let’s get started!

XOXO Love Banner Supplies:

  • Darice Craftwood Flag Banner (2 sets).
  • Darice Craftwood 1.5 inch Wood Letter X (package of 2).
  • Darice Craftwood 1.5 inch Wood Letter O (package of 2).
  • Darice 3 x 2.5-inch Wooden Hearts (2).
  • Red, Pink and Turquoise Craft Paint.
  • Paint Brushes.
  • Hot Glue.

Use the craft paint and brush to paint 3 flag banner pieces turquoise and 3 flag banner pieces pink. Apply 2-3 coats for the desired finish. (Note: You will only use 1 of the flag pieces from the second set, so you can reserve the remaining 4 pieces for another project.)

Paint the X and O letters white with the craft paint and foam brush. Paint the 2 wooden hearts red. Apply additional coats for the desired finish. Allow each painted piece to dry completely.

Valentine-love-banner-Darice-3Lay out all painted pieces on a flat surface, and layer the elements as they will appear in the finished project. Affix the heart and letter pieces to their respective flag pieces with hot glue.

String all of the finished pieces onto the twine piece from the first flag banner set.
