A RedWork Stocking Celebrating the Real Christmas.

Over the past few months, i have been drooling over the projects seen on Pinterest with wood pallets. After searching Craigslist for pallets with no luck, I decided I would make my own! The total cost for my project was just under $20. I had my own stain, nails, paintbrushes, and a saw so all I bought was the wood. I bought two different sizes and alternated them. I believe the width that I cut was around 32 inches. I used my lovely Purdy brush that I got from Goodwill last year for .99 cents! I picked up 6 different kinds of Purdy brushes for .99 cents each! :) The stain was Miniwax Dark Walnut and I applied two coats to make it darker. And once that was dry, I used a stencil from Michael's and stenciled my favorite bible verse on it! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. *Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.* I love it and can't wait to enjoy it for many years in our home. It's also a great reminder for me throughout the day. Linking up here! and here! and here! Xoxo,
