Wedding Signs

There are a million ways to use old pallets. They've got the perfect weathering and rustic edges to make them look gorgeous in just about any project. My sister had recently gotten a couple pallets full of concrete blocks and she loaded them up in her mini van so we could make these signs. We posted them to direct wedding guests from the main road.
First, we used a circular saw to saw off each of the boards from the side supports.
Next, we used a crowbar to pull out the nail from the center support.
After we got them separated, we stenciled "Wedding" on each board. I went to Lowe's and bought ground spikes to attach to the signs for a dollar a piece. They had peel and stick tape, but we used some shallow screws to double the strength. Total project cost: $10, $5 for the spikes. $5 for the stencils (probably could have free handed the letters).
