• Scrap wood
• Wood glue
• Jigsaw
• Random orbit sander
• Router table
• Flush trim bit

First we are going to make the template so we can later use the flush trim bit on the router table to batch these hearts out if we want to make more.

take a piece of plywood and draw the heart on it.

Use the jigsaw to cut the heart out.

Using the random orbit sander to smoothen the edges of the template. I use 120 grit paper here.

using the mitre saw we cut the pallet wood pieces to size.

Place the template on the pallet wood and trace the outline.

Next, we are going to use the jigsaw to cut the pallet wood pieces to their rough size. Make sure to leave the pencil line on the wood, so the scrap wood pieces are a little bit bigger than the template!

Use double sided tape to attach the pallet wood pieces to the template.

Using wood glue and brad nails we are going to attach a cross supporting piece of pallet wood to the backside.

Using a flush trim bit on the router table we are going to cut the pallet wood to the templates’ size. Adjust the height of your router table until the bearing runs against the template.

Using some force we remove the pallet heart from the template.

We use the random orbit sander to sand the heart smooth, making sure tonremove all splinters and prevent tearout

Using some little nails we attach the clip to hang the heart on a wall.

The heart is finished! If you enjoyed this project, make sure to subscribe to my channel by clicking here!
