Pallet Wood Nativity Woodcraft Pattern

Make this rustic Nativity Scene entirely from boards salvaged from free shipping pallets!

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 this self-standing design.

(measures 31" tall)

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