Mini Pallet Board Sign

I saw this post and this post on pinterest and loved the look.  I thought it would be perfect for the project I needed to plan for craft group this month!  I went to Ace hardware like she did and saw the mini picket fence posts, but they were very rough.  I found an 8' board that was much smoother with the same dimensions for $3.50.  I got 4 of them and they cut each into seven 11" pieces and two 9.5" pieces.  I wanted to get a dark brown stain and thought I did.  The color said ebony (I know ebony is black), but the sample looked like a dark brown.  Well, when Amy & I were staining them, it was completely black!  But we liked it better that way!  It looked really good!  Her dad nailed them together for us with his air nail gun.  It was so sweet, I wanted to get one!  On craft night I cut the vinyl with my Cricut.  We all chose the word 'love' from the Home Decor cartridge and stippled it with white paint.  I think they look amazing!  I love it on my mantle
