I made this Backlit Pallet Automotive Logo Wall Art using a few pieces of pallet wood, a jigsaw, and a random orbit sander. A multi-colored LED light strip was installed to back-light the piece. It was the only thing that cost me money :-)
My Backlit Pallet Automotive Logo Wall Art:
First, I sanded several pallet boards smooth, and carefully joined along the edges where the boards would meet. Next, I glued them together, clamping gently until dry. I printed out the automotive manufacturer’s logo and carefully transferred the image onto the boards. Then, I drilled out pilot holes and used a jigsaw to carefully cut out the shape. When I was done with the jigsaw, I re-sanded the edges to remove any splinters or rough edges. Finally, I installed the LED light kit and a wall mounting hook.

Charlie Croker, thought it was an Overton design for a minute!
Marc Wilding Does look a bit like it! Have to get that for the clubhouse!
Maybe buy this one, rather than have it nicked? 😂😉
Could you give me some more information about the LED light kit you used? I know absolutely nothing about lighting, but wanted to start using it in my work. I don’t know what to buy, where to buy it, etc.
Hi, NBLAIREB,
sorry for the late response…. I bought thta LED kit at LIDL (discounter) for € 24.99 / approx. $ 30.00. It uses electricity, not batteries, but you can also use one with batteries. It won´t get that warm because of LED technique, and with the remote control you are able to choose your favourite colour.
There´s adhesive tape on the backside, but be sure to fix it extra with some drawing pins.
I prefer to use the ones working with electricity, so you don´t have to change batteries all the time.
This is over a year old but for all in the USA, Hobby Lobby sells the light kits.
