Small Wooden Love Signs for Valentine’s Day – FREE Printables
Instead of a card, tell someone you love them with a small wooden love sign for Valentine’s day. Or update your farmhouse decor with these DIY wood signs, complete with free printable templates.
My husband loves cards. He loves writing cards and he loves receiving cards.
Instead of writing another card to file away, I decided to make a small wooden sign and put a love quote on it. It said “Hello Love.”
Then on the back, I wrote a little love note to him. He LOVED it!
Ever since then, I’ve used that little hello love sign all over. In photos of furniture, on our farmhouse shelf, for nightstand decor and decor on top of a dresser.
This little sign has been my go-to piece of decor throughout our home.
So, with Valentine’s Day coming up, I decided I wanted to make him another Valentine’s Day sign.
And, I wanted to share the design with you, so then you can make your own gift for your spouse (or just as farmhouse decoration haha).
These little signs are super easy to make and even easier to “paint.”

Cut List for Small Wooden Signs
For these love signs, we used 1″ x 6″ common board, cut at 5 1/2″ each. (The 1″ x 6″ board is really 5 1/2″ wide, so it works out to be a perfect square.)
Then we cut the furring strips into (2) 5 1/2″ long pieces and (2) 6 3/4″ long pieces.

How to Paint Farmhouse Signs
You don’t have to paint with paint and a paintbrush!
Instead, use a sharpie paint pen!
You can use a regular sharpie or a chisel tip sharpie, but the paint pen gives the best coverage.
