DIY “Love is Love” Valentine’s Day Sign

January 20, 2017 · 5 Comments

DIY "Love is Love" Valentine's Day Sign | Dreamery EventsThe sweet holiday of Valentine’s Day is quickly around the corner, and with it comes lots of pretty flowers, cute heart shaped cookies and sentimental messages all about love. Over the summer our nation endured yet another disaster fueled by hate, and I was moved by Lin Manuel Miranda’s speech after the Orlando attack about love. His message, that Love is Love is Love is Love…no matter how it looks, love will always win and can’t be broken. His words have stuck with me since, that I created this print, which I have hanging above my desk and even recreated it for several clients. So it’s obviously become the perfect message for Valentine’s day, a holiday all about love!

When it comes to Valentine’s day decor, I find that most of it can be a bit cheesy and often prefer simple touches rather than obvious red hearts and X’s and O’s. Our front door was needing something special this year, and since the words “Love is Love” have sort of become my mantra, I decided to turn some extra wooden hearts into a sweet door Valentine. And it’s not only perfect to decorate on the day we celebrate love, it makes a beautiful touch for a wedding too!DIY "Love is Love" Valentine's Day Sign | Dreamery Events

You’ll Need

  • Wood Hearts {about  11″ – I got mine here}
  • Chalk or Regular Craft Paint, in the color of your choice
  • Foam Brush
  • Pencil & Gold Paint Pen
  • Scissors
  • Silk or Fabric Ribbon {about 20″}
  • Hot Glue Gun

DIY "Love is Love" Valentine's Day Sign | Dreamery EventsPaint the back and front of your wooden heart, allowing each side to dry completely before moving onto the other. Allow to dry at least an hour before moving onto the next steps. Using the gold paint pen, carefully paint the edges around the heart. Then lightly sketch “Love is Love” with a pencil in your desired font. I chose to do a classic and simple calligraphy that is similar to my handwriting.

For a rustic touch, lightly sand several spots to remove the paint just slightly. Then follow the sketched words with the gold paint pen. I did two coats for a brighter metallic, then make each letter’s downstroke thicker to mimic traditional calligraphy. Allow the gold paint pen to dry and set at least 30 minutes.

On the back, make two marks 2 1/2″ from the side edge and top. These marks will be the center of your ribbon. Place a strip of hot glue, the same width of your ribbon, on top of one of the marks, gently place one end of the ribbon atop and press with your finger to adhere.

Repeat with the other end of the ribbon, making sure it isn’t twisted and lays flat. Finish my securing the ribbon with more hot glue. Allow to dry completely.

It’s totally customizable with your favorite colors, message, and even ribbon, which you can choose to tie into a bow too.

Every time I open the door it makes me smile, and hope it does the same for the mail person and others who spot it as they walk by.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
