DIY Pallet Shevles

"It takes half of your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project."
- Napoleon Hill



I see so many posts about creative things one can do with pallets. From furniture to artwork - the pallet has endless uses! I gave my carpentry and DIY skills a work out today when I created these shelves. It's super easy and quick to make. Also, it was free!

I picked up a pallet from the local hardware store (they receive their merchandise on them and give away the excess for free).

I used a hand saw to cut the pallet after the second board on the end from each side. Then, I pried two planks from the remaining pieces to use as bottoms.

After nailing the boards to the bottoms, I gave the edges a quick once over with some sand paper to soften them up a little bit.

Now, find a spot to hang them and accessorize!
