It’s been awhile since I’ve handed out a Valentine’s Day card, but that certainly doesn’t stop me from creating a unique Valentine’s day gift!

These rustic salvaged junk hearts are the perfect example. It’s a unique way to gift a fun valentine that someone can actually keep out and enjoy year around!

Since my decorating style is pretty neutral and rustic, this round I desired to make a project that not only chimed in with my style, it could also be easily adapted to create any Valentines Day sayings you desire…

Grabbing a few reclaimed wood fence planks from my stash and a little bit of thinner rope, here’s what I did!

Supplies you’ll need:

.
reclaimed wood planks

heavy twine – identical to what I used!

white chalk

sketching paper

hot glue gun

cordless drill – my fav kind

scissors

Sketch out your word 

.
1. Roughly sketch a cute sayings on paper first in a writing script that continues without breaks.

I chose to sketch the word Love ending with a heart in a continuous motion that is possible by bending rope only (no sharp corners) however you can also cut the rope as you move along as well. So really, any word or anything is possible.

Some other Valentine’s Day sayings to consider:

 

  • Friendship
  • Boyfriend or Girlfriend
  • So Much Love
  • Love you more
  • I love you
  • Be mine
  • I’m yours
  • Yours forever
  • a short valentine’s quote
  • unique valentine’s day puns

2. Write your saying in chalk on your chosen platform.

For my base, I chose three loose reclaimed wood planks that hadn’t even been attached to each other yet. However you can attach them with two smaller support boards on both sides from on top or underneath.

3. Apply hot glue along the chalk line, then place your twine along the glue line to create your word.

Because the hot glue cools nearly instantly, laying glue down a few inches at a time, then quickly pressing the rope down against it works well.

Ending the word with a heart shape

 

My Love word ended with a big ‘ol twisty heart to further tell the story as an added treat!

And since I don’t have a ton of spare wall space (read that as none) in my home, here’s where I put the Love sign!

I mounted it right to my bedroom headboard! (which is an old horse gate)

Mounting the Valentine’s Day sign

 

The 3 reclaimed wood planks were joined together by screwing on two support boards on each side on the top. This created a natural border adding more detail which I loved!

Then the entire sign was screwed right onto the headboard. This makes it very easy to remove whenever desired.

This natural wood and rope Love sign also works well with neutrals, so a mix of white pillows and a white quilt complete this look.

Trace this image

 

Here’s a straight on shot so you have the ability to better trace the Love sign I made. Or perhaps this inspiration will help you create your own look!

I LOVE it! 🙂

Another way to use this idea would be to use thin string to create greetings on Valentine’s Day cards or gift tags. This would also make a fun homemade Valentine’s Day card made by a kid (with hot glue guidance of course)

Now just add a fun movie and a few chocolates and that’s a Happy Valentines’ Day that works for me this fine February!

What Happy Valentine’s Day message would you use for your rope, twine or string sign?

    • I was wondering if you recall where you had gotten the wreath at?
      Im always looking for one that resembles that and its hard to tell online the size and how thick they are.
      Thank you,
      Jennifer

  1. When I first saw the picture until i read the directions, I thought that after you had put it all together that u then painted the entire thing white. But it’s totally awesome as is but painting it to match could be an option I think, painting and then antiquing.

  2. Love your site! You have given me so many ideas and now I would like to actually make something. Thank you for sharing the diy on your love rope sign. I am going to make it for my niece and her fiancé’. Could you tell me what the dimensions are for the sign you made? I did get some old barn wood but I am wondering if it may be too thick- about 1 and 1/2 inch. What do you think?
    Thank you so much!

    • Hi Corlyn, sorry, I’m not home at the moment to check. But honestly, any board will do! I generally create with just whatever I find. 🙂 I think thicker wood would make a super nice statement, although it may be a little trickier to mount on a wall. Just use longer screws.

  3. Hello! I was wondering… could you do this on a much smaller sign with thick burlap string? It would be like a small version. Just wondering what you think 🙂

  4. Hi Donna!

    love your website and all the great crafts you have on here!…I was wondering if you had a tutorial or any such thing on how you made your headboard for your bed. I absolutely LOVE it!

  5. Hmmm… i think I’d paint that rustic ‘Love’ sign with a white background so the rope stands out better. Having said that, what a unique way to use a rope on a sign. Was looking for something similar. Hard to find signs with rope words.
