Pallets. Pallets. Pallets.

Pallet projects + creations have been on the ‘Hot List’ for quite a while.  Crafters and DIYers love creating upcycled projects using pallets because of the unique and aged look of the wood, plus you can get them at a very low cost or even for free.

Just this morning I received an email from a follower who created this fun, interesting, and informational infograph (i heart infographs – do you?) on the Ultimate Guide to Upcycling with Pallets.  Since I am always asked by readers where do I find pallets or how do I dismantle them to create something new, I thought I would pass this along…

Interesting, right?

I have made my fair share of pallet creations and love each of them.  Take a look…

At the same time that pallets are loved by so many and creations from beds to headboards to sofas have been made, there has also been controversy on the safety of pallets being used in the home.  I recently read this article and it kind of got me thinking about the wood and where it came from and what it’s been exposed to.  If you are someone who loves using pallets, it’s definitely an important read!

Funky Junk Donna wrote an entire post on everything you need to know about pallets – what to look for, how to dismantle them, and the signs of a bad pallet.

Something to think about and consider when making your next Pallet creation…

Please share…  What pallet creations have you made?
