Wood You Be Mine – Wood Plank Cross Stitch Heart

January 3, 2022 by Julie 1 Comment

Wood You Be Mine? Cross-stitch this wood plank heart that is perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Wood You Be Mine

When it comes to Valentine’s Day, I like to go big and bold.

Wood You Be Mine

I’ve created a few big cross-stitch projects before, including cross-stitching on a sweater and on a canvas. I also love a good pun. For Valentine’s Day I’m combining puns with a big cross-stitch project to make a “Wood You Be Mine” Wood Plank Cross-Stitch Heart.

Wood You Be Mine

The supplies for my wood plank cross-stitch heart are pretty simple.

Wood Plank Cross Stitch Heart Supplies

  • Wood
  • Yarn
  • Tapestry needle
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Drill
  • Sand paper

The first step is to buy a piece of wood in the size desired, or cut your wood to size. Then use a ruler and pencil to make out the holes. My wood was a square, and my heart is eight stitches high and eight stitches across. That means I have nine rows of holes.

After marking where all the holes needed to be I used a drill to make them. Once all the holes were drilled I used sand paper to smooth the drill holes and the edges of the wood.

If you’d like you can leave your wood natural. You can also spray it with a light clear coat, which is what I chose to do, to protect it and give it a little shine.

Then it’s time to start stitching. I used regular red yarn and a tapestry needle to stitch through my wood plank.
