One Dozen Hearts... Pallet Style


  I wanted to share with you another item I made to decorate with for Valentines!  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...



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.



Stained 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!



Have a Super Day!



With Much Love & Gratitude,
