I’ve done so many pallet projects in the past and I still can’t get enough of it. Wood pallets are so easy to use once you know a little pallet 101. But needless to say, with wood projects, this is my number one go to.
We’ve been doing some makeover around the house and I felt that I wanted to go with a rustic feel in the bedroom. I don’t want just a splash of new paint, I wanted something different. So my solution, build a pallet wall! It will create an instant rustic feel and it’s also easy to make. Once you’ve deconstructed your pallet the rest will be a breeze. So let’s get started!
What you’ll need for your DIY pallet wall:
- pallets
- safety gloves
- nails
- hammer or nail gun
- wood glue
- wood stain (optional)
Step 1
Deconstruct your pallet. If you plan on doing it one nail at a time, there’s an easier way. See how you can easily deconstruct a pallet here!
Step 2
Prepare your wall by cleaning it or coating it with a fresh coat of paint first.After you’ve prepared the wall measure it with how much pallet you need to use.
Step 3
Apply wood glue to one side of your pallet and stick it on your wall.
Step 4
Hammer the nails in to firmly secure it in place. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you’ve covered your entire wall.
Step 5
Now that you’ve fully covered your wall with pallets, there might be some spaces in the edges. Measure it with your tape measure and cut your pallets in those sizes. Then time to fill up the gaps.
TIP: If you want a more rustic look, you can also paint it with wood stain.
And you’re done! You’ve made a rustic wood pallet wall with repurposed pallets. Wasn’t that an easy wood craft project? You can do it for your bedroom wall as a DIY room decor or on any wall you have around the house!
