Let’s make it!
I had already painted the hearts on the Heart-Tac-Toe board with my Toolie Art Bubble Gum paint pen, so I started out by misting the bases with water to thin my White Swan paint down just a little. Then I painted both and dried them with my heat tool. Next, I sanded them down just a bit which made them super smooth!
I also used my Xacto knife to clear some of the paint from the etchings on the wood.
I used Letterpress Gray for the frame around both projects and sanded them a bit. And for the Heart-Tac-Toe, a black pen to outline the X’s and O’s. I used DAP Rapid Fuse glue to adhere the frames to my projects and clothespins to hold the edges until the glue dried.
TIP: Use a super glue like DAP instead of hot glue to avoid layers being lumpy and uneven.
After painting the frame with Letterpress Gray, I painted the XOXO letters on the Scalloped Sign with my black Posca Paint Pen, and the hearts with Debi’s Design Diary Petticoat Pink and Toolie Art Paint Pen in Bubble Gum. I sanded a little and glued them together.
I used clothespins to hold everything as I did before.
TIP: Be sure to paint the edges. Also, the frame for the XOXO has a specific placement so the scalloped edges will line up. Check your placement to be sure before gluing.
I added a beaded hanger using my bead threader for the XOXO Scalloped Sign, then added pieces of craft sticks over the knotted and glued ends for extra security.
