The second sign will be created using two DIY Slat Signs. Start by coating the two signs in the same light pink paint used for painting the first sign.

Count out 25 DIY Unfinished Wood Heart Shaped Beads and separate them into five piles of five beads. Mix small amounts white, pink and red paint together in Mini Clear Appetizer Plastic Bowls to achieve five varying shades of paint from light pink to red. Paint each set of five beads with one shade of each of the paints.

Measure to find the center of the sign and then use a small dab of hot glue to adhere one of the light pink beads to the top middle of the painted DIY Unfinished Wood Box Frame. Continue adding the beads to the sign in straight rows from the lightest pink at the top to the red beads at the bottom.
