Valentine XO Letters

Valentine XO Letters made cut from FloraCraft foam cubes, Easy Valentine's Home Decor Craft #MakeItFunCrafts

Valentine XO Letters

These Valentine XO Letters are easy to make and a fun way to add some sparkle in to your Valentine’s Decor.

XO Valentine's letters cut out of foam using a foam cutter blade

 

To make the foam letters, I  used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut an X out of paper to use as a template to trace on to the foam cube.  Since I wasn’t about to recreate the wheel and make my own O, I used a FloraCraft 10″ Wreath ring. Also,   since the wreath was wider than the foam cube, I cut two X’s out of the cube to make the letters the same width.

XO Cut Foam glued together with Styrofoam Glue

 

After the  X’s were cut, I adhered them together using SytroGlue.
Painted foam letters

 

Then painted each foam letter with a thick layer of DecoArt chalky finish paint in the color Escape.

 

Foam Letters sprinkled with Diamond Dust glitter

 

While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled  Diamond Dust all over the foam letters.  Make sure your paint is really wet or the glitter won’t adhere securely.

I think they really did turn out so pretty!  Plus, I love how the letters are painted in a non-traditional Valentine’s color too, the color really makes them pop!
