Easy Pallet Wood Sign

November 18, 2013 By Erica Deuel 5 Comments

love_signLove might not be an easy thing, but this sign sure can be an easy way to express it!

Have you started making Christmas presents? I am in full swing. I love to give handmade presents, so I have to start way out to get them all done in time. My first present for this season is this easy pallet wood sign.

If you have a scrap piece of wood, a hot glue gun, a little stain and paint, and some chipboard letters, you can make this sign! I got my letters at Hobby Lobby, but I think the font of these letters is cute too!

The first thing I did was sand my scrap pallet piece of wood.

love_wood_signDo you love to give handmade gifts too? What are some crafts on your list? I’m hoping to paint Reagan some peg wood dolls. She is not into big cloth dolls but all the little plastic figurines, so I figure I am going to try to paint her some wood ones. If I am successful, I will be sure to let you know!

I hope you had a good weekend!

    This is beautiful Erica! Never take scrap wood for granted… what I’d give to be able to find some in Korea 🙂 I can’t wait to get back to the States and try this one!
