Pallet Wood Easter Plans

These fun planter designs are easily made using free shipping pallets! Using wood from recycled pallets saves you money and helps the environment by saving trees and keeping used pallets out of landfills.

Plans include full-size patterns and step-by-step instructions that will ensure your success. Paint using color washes that show off the unique character of the pallet boards or simply using solid colors. (up to 35" tall)

Note: If you prefer, our Pallet Wood projects can be cut from rough fence boards, regular pine boards or cut out in one piece from plywood.
