My husband is not a carpenter and I am not a painter; however a couple years ago both our family's decided to start exchanging home-made gifts for Christmas. What???!!! This is a chronicle of how we get an idea and stumble our way to the end, all with our 3 small children helping. We are certainly not professionals and we have no form of training, but we definitely put thought and love into everything we do. This is our crazy crafty life.

Pallet Christmas Tree
I made this for my sister this year. It was super simple to make. The stencil we found at Wal-mart and then I took apart a pallet and cut each piece to fit each phrase. Tape the stencils to the piece of wood (make sure it's all covered so the paint doesn't run) and then spray paint. Remove tape and stencils then attach each piece to your base wood which also doubles as the tree "stem." Then Polyurethane - I like the spray paint kind and attach a picture hanger or drill a hole in the back.
I think my sis really likes it because now it hangs year round in her house!
