Wood Pallet
This pallet was very time consuming! It was a gift and the receipient loved it so it was time well spent!
Step One: Find a pallet and take apart. Pallets are often available on Craig's List for free.
Step Two: We used a wood planer to strip down each piece of wood. You can leave it more distressed if you would like.
Step Three: Optional: We drilled holes in the top and bottom corners of each slat and connected them with copper wire. You could also use leather ties for a more country look.
Step Four: We nailed 2X4 boards on the back of the slats to help hold all the wood pieces together and also allowed us to attach it to the wall.
Step Five: Paint the pallet whatever color you want.
Step Six: We used a stencil to paint on our Bible verse, freehanding the word LOVE.
Step Seven: Attach to the wall using heavy duty anchors because it will be pretty heavy.

Love the use of the copper wire. Also the turquoise blue really makes the letters pop.
