Recycled Pallets as DIY Furniture

You are here: Home / DIY HOME DECORATION / Fine craft furniture / Recycled Pallets as DIY Furniture

March 18, 2011 By Rose Fine Crafts 6 Comments

Recycled pallets let you create the most wonderful DIY furniture.

Tons of pallets are being used, abused and then discarded all the time. This entails a great opportunity of us reclaimers, upcyclers and otherwise creative souls to transform old wooden pallets into glorious works of artsy home decoration and recycled wooden pallet furniture.

 

Here are three easy, but oh-so-functional DIY wooden pallet furniture projects that stand out:

I love all three projects. Click on the above links for further info and a how-to. Regarding the third project, the bookshelves, you have to (and yes, you can!!) figure out how it’s made by just looking at the bookshelves. Fairly easy.
