    25 PALLET PROJECTS

      There are so many ideas online for ways to use pallet wood. You can find pallets on Craigslist, or in dumpsters. I always snag mine from a cement plant’s dumpster. There are always people trying to get rid of pallets. If you want the pallets to look old, simply leave them outside for a…

    MAP PALLET ART

    So the other day I went to Hobby Lobby to get some little mustaches for my kids Valentine’s and got totally distracted-as I often do at Hobby Lobby. I came howe with a cart full of metal decor because it was all half off. I also came home with these little state cutouts. I love…

    PALLET NUMBER ART

    I love working with pallets or old wood. I have seen some art with numbers on it-actually my good friend had one on her wall that she found at a thrift store-let’s just say I was a bit jealous so I had to make one for myself. I modified it a little to work with…

    DIY CHALKBOARD GLOBE

    I have seen people with little globe collections and think they are so cute. A while ago I found this globe at a thrift store and recently decided to change it up a little so that the kids could have fun drawing on it. I just used some chalkboard paint and slowly painted the oceans.…

    DIY CAMERA TOTE

    I made this little camera tote for our trip to Europe. I wanted something that was small and protected the camera like a little sock. I wanted to be able to haul it around in my backpack and know that it wasn’t going to get damaged. One Saturday I whipped up this little tote. I…
