Break down pallet, remove all nails. Edge off the edges of the boards

Apply glue to the edges and clamp together, wipe off excess glue with a damp cloth. Let the glue dry for a few hours.

Note if the sign is going to be outside, use Water proof Wood glue

After the glue dries, undo the clamps. Now I have already made a pattern for mine. But if you don't have one, Google search for a image and print one out. I traced the pattern on the board and cut it out with a Jigsaw.

Note you might have to sand the edges just a little
