We found another lovely idea starring …a pallet, over at Little Lucy Lu.
With a little effort, you can take an old pallet as your raw material and make 2 charming shelves with a rustic look, for a child’s room and beyond.
Here’s how to achieve this transformation:
Step 1
Following the direction shown in the photo below, make 2 straight cuts along the green lines.
The result will look something like this!
Note: We will use the 2 leftover middle boards to form the base of the 2 shelves.
Step 2
Remove the central board to free up more room for the books.
Step 3
Nail the boards intended for the base of the 2 shelves to the bottom of each unit.
Step 4
Sand the shelves down with sandpaper.
Step 5
Apply a varnish, a primer and then the paint of your choice, following the product instructions for drying times.
You’re all set!
Enjoy your new shelves!
