Pallet Christmas Trees

A while back I saw somewhere some Christmas yard decorations that looked like Christmas trees and were made from pallets and I thought that was the coolest thing ever and I love making things from pallets because its recycling something to make something awesome!

Finding Pallets

If you don't have access to getting pallets or don't know any where to get them then you probably have or know of a grocery store near by your house and that is a perfect place because they have thousands but if you can ask first I didn't but it was fine because I just got 2 another good place is a local junk place or trash place.

Disassembly and Marking

I first got some chalk line and marked it and then pry the boards off and be very careful the boards don't split by the nail holes!

You can choose to cut it on the pallet but it's hard pry off the back board after cutting so I just pryed them off then cut them on the saw table

I like to reuse a lot on the pallet so I straighten the original nails out and use them it also gives it more of a rustic look

Sanding

I just do a quick light sanding job to keep the rustic pallet look
