This looks fabulous! (And from one of the Best. Movies. Ever.) 🙂
I’ve always wanted to make a wood pallet sign! Love this one!
This is wonderful! Super cool, very crafty, and totally a brilliant idea.
I love it! What die cute machine did you use?
What did you use to change the color of the pallets before putting the lettering on? I noticed its much lighter, almost white.
White spray paint!
The message that this art conveys is beautiful and so very true!
Such an amazing work of art!! 🙂 Great job!
Where do you find Cece Caldwell aging cream and wax? Home improvement store like lowes or Home Depot? Or a craft store like hobby lobby or Joann’s?
Now that my sign is finished…. how on earth do I hang it up on the wall?
Great question, Rachel! I wrapped craft wire around the vertical boards on the back and hung it on a screw mounted in a stud.
Exactly how did you make your stencil!!!
Hi Mallorie. I cut it using my Cricut machine.
Hi I have a cricut machine but what did you use for the material for the stencil?
How did you fill the letters in? Like the G.
Hi there, I had a question about the letters as well… how did do the letters like B or D where there are parts of the letter not visible on the stencil, just the outlines of the letters would be. Thanks for any help you can give, I have been wanting to make one of these for so long. Also, how big did you cut your letters with the Cricut.
hi there… can you tell me a little more about how you did the letters. I’ve been dying to make something like this and every time I cut a stencil or template out with my Cricut I can’t figure out how to get the letters like B or D to look right since the stencil just has the outline of the whole shape. Also, what size did you cut your letters.
Thank you, it looks amazing!
What a super fun and easy DIY project! I love it! Thanks for sharing the inspiration 😉

What is the actual size of this sign?
It is 3 feet wide and just over 2 feet tall.
I have been wanting to do something like this for artwork I want to place on my wall. Thanks for the inspiration.
What font is your stencil? I can’t find a font like it anywhere.
Gill Sans!
How do you keep the centers of the letters in place? ex. A’s and O’s. I can’t make those letters perfect. Thanks!
Contact paper duh! Lol I used my cricut and made stencils with card stock. Off to the store to get some!
Where did you get the stencil from, and if you made them… how?!
What material are you using for your stencil? Vinyl?
Hi Katrina. I used adhesive vinyl from a big box craft store. It is in the die cut machine accessories at most stores.
Hi! Thanks for the great tutorial. I would like to draw your attention to a small error, however. Your directions state to wipe it with a “lent free” cloth, but the spelling should be “lint free.”
