This cute little project was made with recycled pallet wood, some stain, paint and a handy-dandy stencil. I love stencils! So glad I have access to make them out of my own artwork to use on whatever my little heart desires! :)
Eric had originally cut the base as a shelf project. But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it would be cool as a decoration to sit on a shelf, instead of the other way around. So I asked him to make me some wood blocks. I absolutely love the wood he chose for those, by the way. It really has some character to it! :)
I stained the wood, cut a stencil and painted the blocks in my favorite color... teal blue. Any shade of it will do. I so, so, so love it! I then gave the back a little wash of it, too.
And there you have it. Easy-peasy and so rustic. I only wish I had a mantle to put these little projects on! Oh well... maybe one day!

I just found your blog through The Rustic Pig when I was linking up my Pallet Heart Art and I had to check yours out. I love that you used the big bits of wood from the pallet as I couldn't think what to do with them.

Thanks for looking, Julie! I'll have to go back to the party and check out your project too! :)
DeleteCute project! I love the color of the letters you chose!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do love aqua. :)
DeleteThis is great..it like the mis-matchy size of your blocks yet the stain and the color of the letter match...brilliant! I'm so glad you shared this at Loving Valentines Day!
