We added the number 50 to the image using Power Point and then we took some pallet off cuts, wood glue, saddles, rope and chalk and created a one of a kind sign. We cut the pallets into 4 x 35 cm pieces and 2 x 40 cm pieces, sanded them down and then we gave them 2 coats of Rust-Oleum’s American Walnut Stain. It’s one of my favorite stains. The color is so rich and it goes a long way too. We still have a whole bunch left over from when we gave our dresser a awesome luggage themed makeover.
Once the stain dries we placed the 35 cm pieces side by side and using wood glue and a nail gun, we attached the 40 cm pieces to the 35 cm pieces.
You should end up with something like this.
We attached a piece of rope to the back of the pallet sign using some saddles and screws.
All that still needs to be done is to transfer the image on the front of the pallet sign using an overhead projector and chalk.
I really love how it turned out. The perfect sign for a perfect little holiday home in Anchors Aweigh. Isn’t it just so appropriate?
If you like the idea of making an Anchor’s Aweigh house number, don’t forget to pin it for later.

Michelle, that sign is amazing!! It is way much better than the original, you are really talented to draw that by hand!
I would love to invite you to share it with us at the party I co-host every Tuesday on my blog.
Enjoy the weekend!
Anchors Aweigh, what a perfect name for a village or town!!!!!
My husband is retired from the U S Navy, he’s a 20 year veteran. ⚓️⚓️⚓️
To live close to the ocean, in a place called Anchors Aweigh with an anchor house number, would be heaven on earth for us…
You are very blessed, no wonder it’s so easy for you to be creative ;)
