Step1: Process the files. You may have to change the parameters based on your machine

I was thinking of something different to make as a gift for Valentine's that would double as decor but also fun.  I thought of tic tac toe.  I created the heart with the word “love” by united the “love” to the outer heart.  I created a small heart within another larger heart, combined them and then united that to the bottom of the large heart.  The other heart i just took the inside from a template of a card svg template I found on the internet and united and subtracted to a heart.  I made the size of both at 2.5.  I then created the grid.  The base is 10X10.

After processing all the pieces.  I used a red alcohol marker to color in the pieces and dark wood stain to stain the board.  Wood glue to glue down the grid to the base.  Spray a sealant after the stain and marker is dry.

In hindsight, it would be better to do the staining before the gluing.
