If the home writing breaks (which it may) do not panic. Simply hot glue it back together when you’re putting it on the heart in the final step.

Step 2 – Make the Pallet Heart

Now it’s time to make the pallet looking heart base.

Lay out 5 of the board lengths side by side.

Use your home lettering to help you gauge the size, draw your heart shape on the wood. Set aside the 6th piece of wood for use later with holding the heart together.
