little peanut pallet sign

Sometimes I like to buy decor–but sometimes it is so easy to save some major bucks and DIY. One decor piece like I like to make are handpainted pallet signs. You can make them anyway you want to fit any decor. And the materials are so inexpressive! In fact, they’re often free. Today I’m sharing a cute “little peanut” pallet sign that is perfect for nursery decor.

Baby shower season seems to be upon us and I’m super excited that I get to help co-host another one soon (is the phrase “help co-host” being redundant?). Just like the last one, this one is also for a girl and the theme is elephants, how fun is that?! Also, this is the first girl baby shower in a LONG time that I have helped to co-host where the colors weren’t pink and aqua. Don’t get me wrong, I love those colors, but I am excited for something a little different.

I have shared many different pallet signs before so I won’t go into a lot of detail about the process. It’s basically the same as my “the weary world rejoices” pallet sign, but in reverse.

I could have painted on Mod Podge first to seal the edges of the vinyl stencil so that the lines would be nice and crisp, but I knew I wanted it distressed so I didn’t bother. Mod Podge can also make it a little harder to distress the paint with your sander afterwards because it has a tendency to go from looking brand-new to oh-no in a flash.

I really love the way this one turned out! I especially love the momma and baby elephant image I found, how perfect is that for a baby shower?
