I started with just a pallet! Spencer broke off the bottom blocks for me so that it would sit lower and flat! I hammered in all the nails and giant staples! I then sanded the whole thing.
Then I stained the whole thing with an old fashioned color stain. After the stain dried over night, I traced a big "C", for Chamberlain, onto the bottom right corner! After that dried over night, I clear sprayed on top of the whole thing!
Then put it out front! It really was a fast project, even though it took a few days drying time!
I love love love it!
These were super easy! I had some wide mouth "Ball" jars, one tall and one short, and lids in my basement! So I went to Salvation Army and found two Candle stands and some chess peices. Glue the chess pieces on the jar lids with a really sturdy glue! I use, E-6000 industrial strength glue! (photo below) I spray painted the candle stands and lids black! Then glue (E-6000) the jars onto the candle stands! Put candy in jars that match the holiday! Now you have an awesome home decor, but Holiday decor also!
