So, I have this pallet sitting outside that has been calling my name for weeks. I haven’t been able to decide what I want to make with this, there are just too many possibilities!!! And of course I want to make them all, but I only have a single pallet…. What to do, what to do??!!
Pallet waiting for a project…
So today, I turned to my awesome friend Pinterest (okay, maybe not so much a friend but more of a wonderful yet time-consuming addiction 😉 ) for some single pallet project ideas to help me decide which project to make with this wonderful pallet that is ever-so-patiently waiting outside for me. I was able to narrow it down to 10 easy DIY projects that I thought I’d share before narrowing it down to THE ONE. So, if you only have a single, lonely pallet, here are 10 projects that you can choose from to turn that poor, plain pallet into a thing of beauty! (At least these are the 10 project I found appealing):

Love the end table and the gardening idea! Never would have thought of that. These are all great ideas.
It’s amazing what you can find on Pinterest! I’m always amazed by other people’s creativity (and so glad they are willing to share it! The end table is one of my favorite as well.
Great ideas! I wish I was handy enough make a few of these.
You should give it a try, you may surprise yourself! I never picked up a power tool until 7 months ago. Now I want to make anything and everything! 🙂
I love the light!
Me too, that one is so pretty!
Thanks for featuring my bollard garden lamp Christine! I would make the Adirondack Chair I think, as they look comfortable and not too difficult to make. Just have to find suitably sized cushions.
Good luck with whatever you choose. I am making a new coffee table next week out of some old USA hardwood pallets I have….

Your welcome! It is such a creative idea and looks so nice! I wish I had the creativity to come up with ideas like that. Hope to see the pics of the coffee table you make on your blog!
I wish I had pallets laying around. there is so many neat things to make with them.
Head over to your nearest ceramic tile store (amongst others). Most big tiles come on ‘single use’ pallets that they then have to pay to dispose of. Just ask for some, usually they are only too happy to give them away. My local store even has a sign up saying the same. Reusable pallets are more difficult (because they get re-used lol!) but trawling the classifieds usually finds one or two.
I love these! The garden one has to be the best!
