Paint the frame with Wicker White. You’ll need to give it several coats on both sides. Let it dry.

Run your heart Duck Tape down one side, and then run the red Duck Tape across the front. Cut with scissors.

I had a little bit hanging over, so I trimmed the edge with a craft knife.

Glue the letters on with the craft glue – it can be any saying of your choice. I liked “Love U.”
