    150 Cheap and Easy DIY Pallet Projects

    Pallets are a fantastic material to use for DIY projects because they are durable, versatile, and often available for free or at a low cost. They can be repurposed and upcycled into a wide range of indoor and outdoor DIY pallet furniture and home decor items, as well as practical items like garden beds, planters and fences. In this collection of pallet project ideas, you will find inspiration for everything from DIY tables and chairs to shelving and storage solutions. Whether you are a seasoned at woodworking projects or a beginner looking for your first project to hone your woodworking skills, there is something here for everyone. So grab a pallet and get ready to get creative with these wood crafts!

    Before we dive into these wood pallet projects, here is some helpful information for beginners:

    You can get free pallets (or very cheap) from:

    • Craigslist or Facebook’s Marketplace. A lot of the time people just put them on the curb for free for you to pick up.
    • Local businesses, distribution centers and stores (e.g Garden and Hardware Stores, Home Improvement Stores). You will see them sitting out back of stores, but always ask the manager before you take them because they could be rented pallets and need to be returned.
    • New Businesses – If you know a new business is opening in your area, that is a great time to find a lot of pallets too.

    If you can’t find any free wood pallets, you can buy them for under $10 (typically in the $5-$7 range, depending on the type and size.

    Handy Tutorials for DIY Pallet Projects:

    • How to “Quickly” Disassemble Pallets
      • Many projects require dissembling the pallets.
      • There are lots of different ways to disassemble pallets depending on the type of tools you have at your disposal.
    • How to Tell if a Pallet is Safe for Reuse  -Don’t use pallets with MB or IPPC logo! Some pallets are not safe to use as home decor or furniture due to the chemicals used on them.

      Anywhere that carries shingles for roofs will likely give you pallets for free. That’s where I got mine.
