DIY: Pallet Gardening Table Why yes, another pallet project coming your way. I’ve only created 328 pallet projects thus far. well maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration… Anyway, I’ve been busy with creating something new and different using pallets. What did I make? I’ve never seen something like this before (maybe it’s on pinterest, but lately it’s been crushing my creative juices so I try to stay clear) Why did I create it? And why did I use pallets? In all, this project cost less than $10 to make and basically the money was spent on hardware. So here is what I gathered to create this Pallet Gardening Table: (6) C-Shaped Screws (they need to be heavy-duty)(4) 4″ Strap HingesWood Screws (for outdoor use) to install hingesSmall C-HooksChain (about 6′ – 7′ in length) – I got a cute yellow chain from Lowe’s(2) Pallets that are the same size Lowe’s put me to the test this month to create something interesting + for the outdoors, so let me show you the process… 1. Once complete, that pallet was set aside. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Wheeled Pallet Vertical Planter No, I’m not talking about corrupt Union officials – that was yesterdays Post – today I’m talking about Gardening. Are you a Gardener? Many years ago someone told me that if you get your hands in the dirt, you will never get cancer. A 2010 Dutch study claims to have proved conclusively that gardening reduces stress. They asked one group to cultivate plants in a garden for 30 mins, another to go home and read. Both groups showed decreased stress levels, but the gardeners cortisol levels were lower. Norwegian Scientists attribute this to harmless bacteria found in soil which boosts the ” happy ” hormone – serotin. Beats looking at the Smart Phone all day long don’t you think? I always thought a really good Gardener, was like a really good cook. A really good cook could go to a half empty fridge, start from scratchand produce a meal, a really good Gardener could produce a garden from dried seeds.. Vertical garden boxes for small spaces are great.Bunnings sell them, but they are expensive.

How To Make A Better Strawberry Pallet Planter Over the past year I've come across scores of diy pallet projects, some of them intriguing and others not quite there yet but still having potential. One that I see time and again is the idea of using a single wooden pallet as a strawberry planter. Filled with soil and with plants inserted in the gaps they're usually leaned up against a wall but sometimes bolted on to keep from tumbling over. It's a clever idea but I've steered away from trying it myself because I suspect that they'll require constant watering and erosion control and also because I'm not convinced that they'll work long term. Still I was interested in the idea and with the gift of eight pristine wooden pallets, I started scouring the internet looking for alternative tutorials. First of all, choosing pallets for diy projects involves a bit of know-how. To help you find the right type of pallet for your project I've put together a diagram of what to look for when you spot one. You will need the following materials:
Starfish Patterns - Tatting Patterns by Tattycat You will need two shuttles. If you are using one color, wind continuously. I used size 20 DMC for the solid yellow and size 20 hand dyed thread for the variegated. It will be about 4” in size 20 thread if tatted tightly. Abbreviations R ring C chain + join LJ lock join - picot Clr close ring Rw reverse work Dnrw do not reverse work SS switch shuttles As with all of my patterns, I used front side/back side tatting for this starfish. When joining between rings on the arms – I just find a little space and put it right in the bottom of the previous ring.

Paracord Laced Pallet, Hanging Chair Stuff you will need- Tools: Drill Saw Lighter Sawzall (optional) Materials: Paracord Pallet (I was able to get by with just one but it all depends on how much usable wood you can get off of each pallet) I used pallet wood because it is hardwood and free but, as with all treated wood, you need to use precaution when handling this wood. I used paracord because it is small yet strong and does not stretch as much as other ropes. » What Is Tatting? Tatted Treasures Tatting is an ancient form of lace making, traditionally frequented by upper class ladies due to the enormous time involved. Notably, Queen Victoria of England and Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria enjoyed tatting. Tatting involves wrapping thread around one or two shuttles and using the shuttles to guide the thread into patterns of knots to create rings and chains in delicate designs. Projects can include doilies, earrings, necklaces, ornaments, bookmarks, baby caps and booties, wedding veils, as well as edgings on handkerchiefs, purses, garments, placemats, note cards, and much, much more. Use tatting to add elegance and flair to your favorite items!
