DIY Nursery Room Pallet Signs

I finally finished the signs I promised to make  for my niece, Amanda!!!

 I am pretty happy with the way they turned out!

Here is what I did:

Hubby brought home two pallets (You will need one for this project-but I'm making two sets!)

Since Hubby doesn't allow me near a saw (I don't blame him)-he did all the cutting!

Here is what the backside looks like-after the pieces were screwed together and reinforced.

One down-one more to go!

And then there were two!  We are set for the next step-

I sanded both the edges of each piece-as well as-the tops-to ensure no slivers would be had!

The first sign received a coat of antique white-(I used Patio Paint)

The second sign was painted with Pewter Gray (Note:  When I first started applying- the color seemed a bit dark-so I mixed it with a little of the white.  The color turned out much softer (PERFECT)!

I didn't have time to finish-so I let these dry over night-but this paint is (quick drying)-so you should be able to use your stencils within an hour after painting!

I love the antique look!  For the grey background-I just mixed a bit more white into the gray paint and randomly brushed it into the nooks and crannies of the wood.

For the white background- I just kept it simple-letting the wood show through as much as possible.

My last step is to add some sawtooth hangers on the back-and they are ready for the nursery!!!

I'd love to hear your ideas on other 'easy' diy projects! Until then- HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
