Pallet Wood Shepherds & Animals Woodcraft Pattern

Make these rustic Shepherds and Animal Add-ons 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 up to 30" tall)

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