The dear daughter came home from the movie the other day and hubby said, "I grabbed some pallets and took them apart for you while you were gone." Ah--music to my ears!
Having a pile of pallet boards ready to go makes creating so much easier. These are nice thick pallet boards.
I created a box/crate in about fifteen minutes--very easy construction. I cut three boards about 15" long and attached the long sides to the bottom board. I then measured and cut and attached the end pieces.
I painted the box yellow--I love yellow for spring and I am seeing a lot of it in clothing and decor. I stained over the yellow to darken and dirty it a little bit.
I then stenciled in white the buffalo checked stencil from Funky Junk Interiors Old Sign Stencils. Checks and gingham scream spring to me so I decided the buffalo check stencil would be perfect. Some leather belt handles finished the box.
This box makes a great candle box for a centerpiece. I added some filler, a nest, and some eggs. But it would also make a fun planter box, or would be cute in a bathroom to hold lotions and washcloths.
Where would you use it?
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI love the color and checkerboard design on your planter box. Fifteen minutes...Wow! I think, like you, I'd use the box on the dining room table for the Easter season; then maybe in my craft room to hold supplies I want to keep close at hand. Great project!
Happy Easter,
Cheryl
Thank you! The box would definitely work well in a craft room.
DeleteSo pretty with the eggs and candlelight. What a sweet husband to prep boards for you! Once my husband brought home a solid built pallet for me, better than flowers, right?
ReplyDeleteYes! He knows my love language--pallet wood ;).
