I cut it down to make it look like a rustic box. It needed handles on the sides but I wasn't about to head downtown to buy some, so I cut two blocks of wood from the leftover pallet wood, added a large screw to each block of wood and hung these hook thingys (they do have a name) on the screw to make them look like rustic handles - not functional and just for "show".
I had flowers that were given to me so I put them in the box...
I also tried using a bunch of artificial daisies...(real would be much better!)
Whatever I decide to use, I think this will be a suitable and functional kitchen table centerpiece...for now.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a look...have a great day!

This is such a great idea! Looks great on the kitchen table, and would also look perfect outside for a garden party or bbq!

I love that your DIY projects aren't too intimidating for a newbie like me... those metal "handles" are called carabeeners ( spelling? )
ReplyDeleteYes this is worthy of posting! I love the box & you'll be able to do so many things with it.
ReplyDeleteYour box is great! I love it! The daisies look really pretty in it.
ReplyDeleteMore than worthy for a posting I say. Gorgeous on your table. Just today debated on throwing out a pallet we saved from last year--I'm so glad I saved it! Beautiful job and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCOOL! I adore the accessories you added!! Great centerpiece.

Love the faux handles. I just chopped up some pallets this weekend and wish I had seen this before getting rid of the pieces I didn't think I could use! Great work!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? It's wonderful...you did a great job and I would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteI love the aged wood of your pallet. You've created an instant antique. ;)

Dear Lesa,
ReplyDeleteThis is DEFINITELY post-worthy; I just had my husband come over to the computer to look...we just dragged a pallet home the other night that was by the dumpster where they're building a new house just down from us ~ it had had pavers on it ~ Now I know why I got it! ♥ Love your blog; saw it on Liz's post, now I'm following ~ So nice to meet you!
Best,
Anne
I Love This! I have a pallet sitting outside right now and now it has a purpose in life! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love this.... I keep wondering where everyone finds their pallets....
