Pallet Fun!!



Sorry it has been so long since I teased you all with this project, it is complete and ready for its debut. Here is what she started out to be:



and here is what she is today:


I just love the way this clock turned out.

 I started by taking apart a pallet, then I lay ed  all the boards together and nailed them. I then used a big circular saw blade that my husband had as my pattern for the circle I traced it on an filled it in with some cream paint. I then used a little stain over the cream to give it a vintage look. I printed out roman numerals from the computer using word, cut them out and traced them on to the clock face and painted them in with a brown paint. I bought the clock hands at Hobby Lobby and my darling husband drilled out a hole and installed the hands for me.

 I have it in the spare bedroom and I think it looks great!

      I want to use this medium to testify of how i get back my Lover after divorce with the help of DR SANTY, i and my Lover have been married for 2 years with 2 kids, Last year his behavior towards me and the kids changed, i suspected he was meeting another woman outside out marriage, any time i confronted him, he threatened to divorce me, i did all i could to make things right but all to no avail until i saw a post on a "love and relationship forum" about a spell caster who helps people to cast spell on marriage and relationship issues, when i contacted this spell caster via email, he helped me cast a reunion spell and my Lover changed and came apologizing to me and the kids.

    This is exactly what I've been wanting to make. Can I ask how you nailed them together? Was it with more boards on the back? Thanks.
