Build A Fun Chair

Now that you’ve built your pallet coffee table, it’s time to build a chair to match. This chair is bursting with its character and will pair well with your brightly colored coffee table. Put your twist on outdoor furniture. Once you have the structure built using a saw, crowbar, hammer, tape measure, and marker, you can use whatever pillows and cushions you think best suit your yard’s personality. In this case, this person used real coffee bean sacks as pillows. You could take it a step further and use real flour sacks, or other quirky material you might find lying around or at a local shop (RK Black).

Advent Tree

Christmas is on its way. Santa will be happy to see this project! You can easily build your very own Advent Tree before the holidays even begin. This is a great gift to give your friends and family at holiday parties. If you want this in your home, you can hang gifts and small trinkets from the tree to get your kids excited about Christmas. Another idea is to add tiny numbered structures on the tree, indicating the day of the month, with a small hole inside. Have your kids move a Santa doll from one number to the next, counting down the days until Christmas (Shelterness).

The Real Farm House

Sustainable Compost Bin

Wooden pallets are the perfect material for compost bins. They allow the compost material to breathe and keep the organic matter contained in one box. You don’t need to be a farmer to have a compost box, you can turn the compost material into feed for your plants. This is an environmental way to feed your plants, reduce waste, and limit the number of chemicals you have in your home. To start, you’ll need four pallets of equal size. Make sure the pallets have the logo IPPC or EPAL, which means it doesn’t have harmful material that may leak into your compost (Grow Veg).

Room Divider

If you need a little bit of privacy in your home, this wooden pallet room divider is your lifesaver. Let’s say you have an office space in your living room, but it’s completely exposed to your couch and TV area. You can make a private room using wooden pallets. You’ll only need four pallets secured together to make this divider, which reaches toward your ceiling. Better yet, you can add binder clips and post-its to the structure to make it a family space with photos, reminders, and paintings (Pinterest).

DIY Succulent Garden

Upcycle your old tables for a DIY succulent garden you can put in your backyard. You’ll need a few pallet boards, screws, and face nails. Once you build the structure, clear-coat them and start adding your succulents. Ashley, from Mountain Crest Gardens, created her succulent garden. She said, “I used ground or weed cloth and stapled it to the back and on the inside. I then filled the pallet with soil and cut holes for the plants. Then, once the plants were in I watered the whole thing. Now, we will have to wait at least a month to hang it, so that the succulents can root.” Eventually, your succulent garden will be sprawled with beautiful, vibrant plants (Mountain Crest Gardens).

Spiff up your kitchen with a few panels of raw, exposed wood. To keep the pallet boards protected against moisture, you can seal the boards. If you love the look, you might want to have the exposed wood across your entire counter (Home Talk).

Build A DIY Outdoor Swing

It’s time to put your favorite backyard tree to use! Build an outdoor swing using leftover pallet wood you have in your garage. All you need is the wood, screws, a drill, a saw, durable strings to throw over the branch of the tree, and a comfortable mattress. A little bit of material goes a long way. Once you layer the pallets together, attach the strings. You can decorate the swing however you’d like, and add weatherproof blankets, cushions, and pillows. Your weekend morning coffee just got a whole lot cozier (Homedit).
