Wood Pallet Sign

This last weekend my husband and I worked on another project using what was left from the wood pallets we used to make the pallet shelves a couple weeks ago. We decided to make a wood pallet sign with our last name on it. This wasn’t hard to do. My husband did what I would consider the hard part.

He pulled three pieces of wood from the pallet.

He measured the wood to the length we decided would fit well on the wall.

He cut the wood according to the measurements.

He nailed three post on the back of the sign to hold the three long pieces together.

He applied two coats of dark red spray paint.

Once the paint was dry, he sanded it to give it a rustic look.

I picked a font I liked from my computer (I used baskerville font, size 600), printed out the letters, then cut them out. As you can see, I messed up the e.

Using a pencil, I traced each letter on the sign. This part was a little tedious but not too bad.

Next, I painted the letters an eggshell white color. I had to go over the letters a couple times.

This is what the wall looked like before. There was a framed collage of pictures.

Here is how the wall looks now. I’m going to do a post on the chalkboard I made that is below the pallet sign. I need to get some chalk to write something on it. It’s on my to do list!
