Pallet welcome sign

I am loving summer vacation so far! My kids are keeping me busy, but I still managed to sneak in a project or two last week.

I used some leftover pallet pieces to whip together this welcome sign for our front porch.

Something about a stack of unused wood makes me smile...so many possibilities!

I started off by giving my boards a coat of primer.

Then a coat of white paint {not pictured}. I then lightly dry brushed on some teal colored paint.

I let every coat dry before moving on to the next. After the teal I added a bit of gray/blue paint. Finally I added just a light coat of white paint {not pictured}. Once all the paint dried I went over the entire piece with sandpaper.

I placed my stencil where I wanted it and traced away.

I used a small paint brush to paint in the letters. Once the letters dried I used some sandpaper to rough them up.

My handy husband hung the sign for me {even if it hangs crocked sometimes}.
