Pallet Wood Sleigh Plans

Make this rustic sleigh entirely from boards salvaged from free shipping pallets! Display it indoors or outside.

Using wood from recycled pallets just makes sense...not only do you save money making this attractive display but you also help the environment by saving trees and keeping used pallets out of landfills.

Our plans include full-size patterns and complete instructions to make two versions of this original project: a 3 dimensional, self-standing version and a simple-to-make, flat version that requires yard stakes.

Your Pallet Wood Sleigh can be painted using a color wash as shown that shows off the unique character of the pallet boards or simply a solid color. (Both versions measure 42" long x 25" tall)

NOTE: Pine boards or low-cost fence boards can also be used to make this fun project in lieu of salvaged pallet boards.
