Pallet Love Headboard

Here’s another pallet-inspired headboard that’s so easy to make. In fact, just like a few of the other projects, it requires no real construction, and can be done in an afternoon. Before you begin, you’ll need to get hold of some pallets. These can usually be acquired for free from businesses and shipping companies. All you have to do is ask.

Once you’ve got your pallet, you’re ready to start adding your design. You can freehand a simple painting, or use a stencil that you like, to create a pattern like the birds featured on this example. Flowers, tribal shapes, clouds—anything will work, as long as it’s something that speaks to you. You even might want to try sponging the paint on for a more “lived-in” look and feel.
