Wood Pallet


This pallet was very time consuming! It was a gift and the receipient loved it so it was time well spent!

Step One: Find a pallet and take apart. Pallets are often available on Craig's List for free.
Step Two: We used a wood planer to strip down each piece of wood. You can leave it more distressed if you would like.
Step Three: Optional: We drilled holes in the top and bottom corners of each slat and connected them with copper wire. You could also use leather ties for a more country look.
Step Four: We nailed 2X4 boards on the back of the slats to help hold all the wood pieces together and also allowed us to attach it to the wall.
Step Five: Paint the pallet whatever color you want.



Step Six: We used a stencil to paint on our Bible verse, freehanding the word LOVE.
Step Seven: Attach to the wall using heavy duty anchors because it will be pretty heavy.

  1. Love the use of the copper wire. Also the turquoise blue really makes the letters pop.
