Ah, pallets – is there anything they can’t be used for? In this simple lesson, you’ll learn how to salvage those plain black planter containers you get from the nursery, giving them a rustic look that’s worth displaying anywhere around the house.
First you’ll want to measure the pallet slats to the correct length…
Next you’ll fasten them to the sides using thin “brad” style nails.
Once you finish that step, the inside of your container will look more like something Hannibal would create. To make this safe, use pliars and bend the nails inward.
Boom – your finished planters! They look great as-is, but you could also layer a coat of paint to give them a bolder look.
