Hello Again! Michelle from Chalkboardblue! I wanted to share with you an item I made to decorate with for Valentine's Day...
a pallet-style board accented with wooden decorated hearts!
I found some wood shapes cut into hearts at Hobby Lobby. I painted some of them red and pink. I traced and cut some music sheet paper and used old book paper and glued them to cover the remaining hearts.
I cut some vinyl with sayings that I wanted to be on the different hearts and placed them...
I did various words...
and numbers...
I made my pallet board out of a plank of cedar fencing I purchased at Lowes. I cut 3 boards from this plank, each measuring 18 3/4 inches long.
I s tained the 3 boards with a Minwax Special Walnut color stain...
When the stain was dry, I sanded it down a bit. I next painted a coat of white paint over the stain...
When the white boards were dry, I turned them over. I took some scrap boards and cut them 1.5 inches wide by 13 inches long.
placed some adhesive glue on the cross boards...
used a brad nailer to nail the cross boards to the backs of the white boards... Flipped it back over and the pallet portion is complete.
I next arranged the hearts how I wanted them and glued them onto the pallet board...
Displayed it with a little valentine garland...
The finished decoration measures roughly 16 3/8 in tall by 18 3/4 in long. Perfect to put almost anywhere!
