I am well aware that I am a crazy DIY lady who hunts around and looks for really expensive projects to knockoff (hence the name, DIY Huntress). But, I swear this one dropped right into my lap (or really, my iPhone) and it was too perfect not to try. When I saw that West Elm was essentially selling pallet wood trays for right around $100, I nearly fell out of my chair and rolled into fetal position. …
My favorite projects in the whole wide world are pallet projects; mostly because they are easy to find and easy to use. Also, a lot of you guys seem to request different variations of pallet art, and I am all ears. To be perfectly honest, this was the scariest project I’ve ever done. Not because it was hard or anything, but mostly because it is on YOUTUBE as my first video tutorial (cue me screaming… and not in a cute way, but in a “what did I get myself into” way). While I’ve done similar projects like this in the past, wooden letters have been specifically requested. So, I thought, why not make this my first video/blog experiment? Please tell me I made a good choice…
For those of you that follow my blog pretty closely, you’ll know that I love using pallet wood in my projects. I love pallets for lots of reasons (you can read about my obsession a little bit more here). In continuing my series of guest blog posts that aim to answer some of the questions you guys send me, Aaron Massey is joining us this month to discuss pallet safety. A super important topic for all of you upcycler’s out there! So, without further ado…
First of all, welcome to the new and improved DIY Huntress website! Things have gotten a little better looking around here recently (if I must say so myself). I hope everyone is having an easier time navigating the site! You can even use the super easy “search” bar in the top right corner to find the projects you’re looking for!
Back to business though… which is today’s project!
