Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step One: Prepare the Base
Begin by gathering all of your supplies. First, use the sanding block to smooth out any rough edges on the wooden pieces. This will give your booth a polished look. Next, paint the wooden mini crate and jumbo craft sticks with red acrylic craft paint. Let the first coat dry completely, then apply a second coat if necessary. Set aside to dry.
Step Two: Make the Sign
Create the booth’s sign by gluing two jumbo craft sticks horizontally across the other two sticks, which should be placed vertically. You can use a glue gun for a quick set, or liquid glue for a longer drying time.
Once the frame is assembled, use the white letter stickers to spell out “KISSES” on the sign.
Step Three: Attach the Sign to the Booth
Now that your sign is ready, it’s time to attach it to the inside of the wooden crate. Use your glue gun to secure the craft stick sign to the inside of the crate.
For a charming touch, glue white rick rack trim around the outer edges of the crate to add some cute, vintage flair.
Step Four: Decorate with Hearts and Twine
Using pink glitter craft foam, draw four hearts and cut them out. If you prefer, you can skip this step and buy pre-cut glitter hearts from Dollar Tree. On one of the hearts, use the black marker to write “5₵” as if it’s the price for a kiss!
Then, cut a 10-inch piece of baker’s twine and glue it to the back of the sign. Attach the foam hearts to the twine using the mini clothespins.
Step Five: Final Touches
Glue pink ball fringe trim around the outside of the wooden crate for a fun, festive look. Fill the crate with paper shreds for texture and add a generous amount of chocolate kisses. Now your DIY Kisses Booth is complete and ready to spread love!
4 Helpful Tips:
- Give it a Rustic Primitive Touch: Like a more primitive look? Sand the wood lightly after the paint has dried until some of the paint is sanded off the edges. Go over the surface with a Gel Stain made for acrylic paint. Apply the stain with a rag cloth, rubbing some away as you work until it tones down the paint color and stains the edges.
- Double Coat for Durability: Make sure to apply two coats of paint to your wooden pieces to ensure a smooth, even finish. It also adds durability to the booth.
- Use a Hot Glue Gun for Quick Assembly: A glue gun is your best friend for this project, as it dries quickly and holds the pieces securely in place.
- Personalize Your Booth: Add your own personal touch by decorating the crate with additional embellishments like small stickers, ribbons, or even mini pom-poms.
- Perfect for Gifting: Not just for your home, this DIY Kisses Booth makes a thoughtful and creative Valentine’s gift for teachers, neighbors, and friends!
