DIY Rustic Sign

The hubs and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this past weekend and naturally I decided to make him something as a gift. Our first dance song at our wedding was Danny's Song and this lyric has become our little saying.
I used the pallet wood that I had originally planned to use for my backdrop and pretty much used the same technique as well. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to approach doing the letters but knew I wasn’t going to free hand it. It would have looked atrocious; trust me ;)
The boards got a light sanding and then I stained them using Minwax’s Dark Walnut. I found some stickers at Hobby Lobby that were the perfect size and I laid them down in place.
I also found those awesome “D” and “B” letters at Hobby Lobby and I love how they add a little dimension to the sign.
Once that was done, I just peeled off the letters and was left with that beautiful stain showing through!
I’m not sure where we’re going to hang this yet but all that matters is that the hubbers loves it. And I get some new wall swag ;) That’s a win win!
