DIY Americana home decor sign supplies:

• Darice USA Wood Wall Decor
• Unfinished Wood Stars
• Wood Disks
• Darice Acrylic Paint Set
• Faith Family Friends Word Stencil
• Jute
• Foam Stencil Brush
• Paint Brush
• Sandpaper
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Step 1. To begin this project, paint the unfinished wood pallet and stars. I used acrylic red, white and blue paints. Paint your wood stars white and let dry.

Step 2. Let your USA pallet dry. You will then use sandpaper to distress the painted pallet. Distress across the whole surface and then sand a little extra around edges. This gives the piece a nice rustic effect.

Step 3. Stencil Faith Family Friends on the painted and distressed pallet. Sponge paint a little blue paint around the edges of each star. This gives a nice rustic touch and will help the stars stand out on the pallet.

Step 4. Hot glue the wood disks to the back of each star. Then glue the star onto the pallet. Adding the wood disks will give a little dimension to the stars.

Finish of your DIY Americana home decor sign by tying a piece of jute to the back. Then you can hang your new pallet decor on the wall or your front door.
