Horizontally line up 11 craft sticks.

Glue the remaining 3 sticks vertically, keeping the same width apart. This will keep all of the other sticks together.

Turn over and paint the sticks white.

While still wet, destress it a bit by dipping into brown paint and going over it. Allow to dry for 5 minutes.



Wipe off your brush and go back into the brown to darken it up, mostly around the edges. Wipe off brush again and go back in with white in the center.

Set aside to dry for about an hour.

Glue the heart grapevine wreath form to the sticks. Add more glue as needed, and press until the glue has dried, about 30 seconds or so.

Remove roses from stems by cutting them off.

Randomly glue roses where they look nice, on the inside and outside rim of the heart.

Cut off the small tips of the leaf stems, as well as individual larger leaves.

Glue the leaves randomly around the roses and the heart.

Cut a piece of twine to about 6” (15cm) or to the length you would like.

Turn the sign over and add a little glue to one top corner and carefully glue one end of the twine. (Use another craft stick to press down so you don’t get burned!) Add more glue over it to secure it. Once that has hardened, do the same to the other side.

Once completely dry, you can hang up and enjoy!
