When my husband and I planned our City Hall wedding in the summer of 2012, I couldn’t wait to be a DIY bride! We were having a small reception the next day in my parents’ backyard.  We decorated everything ourselves.  I created centerpieces out of lanterns and yellow and lavender florals.  At the end of the night, I sent everyone home with favors, including Stamped Lavender Sachets that I had made.

So when my little sister got engaged and started planning her wedding, I was thrilled when she asked me to help with the decorations!  I’ve been brainstorming ideas ever since!  My sister and her fiancé are getting married this November.  They’re having a rustic, fall themed wedding.  I’m thinking pumpkins, fall leaves, pumpkins, sunflowers, pumpkins, lanterns, and of course, pumpkins!

Recently, Stencil Revolution e-mailed asking if they could send me some of their stencils.  I knew it was the perfect opportunity to work on some rustic-inspired projects for my sister’s wedding!  I had my sister pick out a couple wedding stencils from their website.  Then, I headed to the craft store to grab some wooden surfaces to stencil into signs.

We went with a wood round for one stencil and a wood heart pallet for the other.  Stenciling the wood round was quick and easy.  We decided to stain the heart pallet in Rust-Oleum®’s Early American.  It’s a beautiful stain that’s not too dark and not too light.  I did two coats of the stain, let it dry overnight, and then added the stenciling.

WELCOME TO OUR BEGINNING WOOD HEART PALLET DIY

SUPPLIES

STEPS

  1. Throw on some gloves and grab some rags.  Then, add a coat of wood stain to the heart pallet.  It’s up to you if you want to stain both sides.  I didn’t stain the back.  Let the stain dry.  If necessary, add another coat of stain to deepen the color.
  2. Once the stain is dry, position the stencil onto the pallet and secure it in place with Painter’s Tape.  
  3. Dip the foam pouncer into white paint, removing excess paint, and begin tapping the paint onto the stencil.  If you’re going for a more rustic look, don’t reapply paint so it looks a little worn in spots. 
  4. Allow paint to dry completely.  If desired, spray a coat of clear spray paint to protect the stenciling.  
  5. Once the spray paint has dried completely, you’re all set to hang this sign!

These stencils were so easy to work with! I was even able to grab a calendar stencil to turn a garage sale chalkboard into a dry erase board!  There’s a ton of stencils to choose from on Stencil Revolution’s website.

These stencils were pretty sturdy, easy to clean, and the designs will fit my sister’s wedding theme perfectly!  I can’t wait to see these projects in action in November!
