If you’ve been an Insteading reader for some time, you probably know that we love the idea of upcycling pallets! Not only does it utilize scrap wood that might otherwise end up in a landfill, it’s a resourceful way to craft decor, furniture, and even garden beds without having to spend a pretty penny for supplies.
Pallets are super versatile, and once you’ve gotten them pulled apart, the projects you can make out of them are virtually endless! Especially if you’re looking to get a little creative and make your own decor.
