Being a fan of all things green and all things moving, I love the idea of upcycling wooden pallets used for moving. Not only are they fantastic for moving your belongings safely during long distance moves, they can be upcycled into some amazingly useful stuff! I\u2019ve come across a lot of amazing ideas for upcycling wooden pallets, so I thought I\u2019d share some of my favorite wooden pallets upcycled ideas!<\/p>\n

What can a wooden pallet be? Almost anything! \u00a0While they aren\u2019t high quality wood, they are great for inexpensive furniture<\/a> and decorations around the house. They are both\u00a0functional\u00a0and fashionable!<\/p>\n

Hanging Garden!<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re short on garden space, grow flowers or plants on a wooden pallet! You can either attach pots to the wooden pallet or use the wooden pallet itself!\u00a0Here’s a great guide by Kelly Moore<\/a> to help you out.<\/p>\n

A Compost Bin!<\/h2>\n

I love composting! It\u2019s a great green way to get break down your scraps, and it\u2019s even better when your composting bin is made from recycled wooden pallets! It’s an easy way to fence off space in your backyard for a composting pile. (For more on composting, check out this post<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

Wooden Pallet Furniture!<\/h2>\n

From couches to tables to chairs, there\u2019s no limit of what you can make when you upcycle wooden pallets! You can use wooden pallets to create a base for a bed or a couch. (Make sure they are well anchored and at the same level!) Cover it with a\u00a0mattress\u00a0or some pillows, and a wooden pallet couch and bed! The wooden pallets’ open slots can be used for storing clothes or books as well.<\/p>\n

Add some paint to some wooden pallets and attach wheels, and you’ve got an awesome coffee table! \u00a0Other projects involve more work, but by simply unscrewing and\u00a0reusing the wood from the wooden pallets, you can create chairs, desks, \u00a0and so much more!<\/p>\n
