Heart 101 - A 2x4 Tutorial

I love love.  Kinda cheesy right?  I'm okay with that.  Today I made another 2x4 heart project.  It's fun and chunky.  I wonder if that's how people describe me?


Here is how to make this little bundle of love.  Grab 4 pieces of 2x4.  I had these in my garage.  They are 6 inches long.  I traced a heart on my wood.


I then cut the lines on the wood at a 45 degree angle.  Give your wooden heart a good sand.


Paint your wood heart and let it dry.  During that dry time you can do the 50 million other things you need to do.  I won't list all of mine :)  Sand the edges again and I inked the edges of my heart.  Cut some fun scrapbook paper in strips and mod podge to heart.


A wood project always needs a little gorilla glue.  Glue the pieces together and let dry.


You're done!  Lovin' this chunky heart!
