Step 6

Lay out five of the tumbling tower wooden game pieces on your work surface in the shape of the letter “E”.

Using the photo as your guide, attach the pieces together with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Step 7

Starting with the letters “L” and “E” glue them to the craft stick sign on the left and right sides, making sure they are positioned evenly with enough room in between to put the “V” and “O” later on.

Then glue the letter “V” next to the “E” and then glue the mini heart wreath letter “O” to complete the word LOVE.
