PALLET PHOTO HOLDER DIY

by Regina 12 Comments

Have you ever create a project with pallets? I’m sharing the easiest project today, a pallet photo holder DIY.

Hi and Welcome to Saved From Salvage. I’m Regina and I’ve been creating things from pallets for a long time. Such an affordable and budget friendly medium for projects. If this is your first time visiting, make sure to add your email at the bottom of the post to stay up to date on projects.

Today is my first post as part of the International Bloggers Club Monthly Challenge. This month, obviously is pallets. Bloggers from across the globe create a project using the same theme. It’s fun to see how those from different countries interpret the theme.

PALLET PHOTO HOLDER

PALLET PHOTO HOLDER SUPPLY LIST

  • Pallet
  • Nails
  • Hammer
  • Bulldog Binder Clips
  • Twine or Wired Twine
  • Jigsaw
  • Glue

HOW TO MAKE A PALLET PHOTO HOLDER

First step is to dissemble the pallet. This can be done by prying it apart with a pry bar or hammer, or you could use a reciprocating saw.

MEASURING THE LENGTH FOR THE PHOTO HOLDER

Take one slat of the pallet and using a jigsaw, cut to the length you desire.

The one in the picture is 14 inches long.

USING THE JIGSAW TO CUT THE BOARD

Cut a piece of twine or wired jute cord to the length you would like.

Cut a small piece of pallet board, about 2 inches long.

Take your twine and place between the long board and 2 inch board.

Now glue or tack the block of wood to the long piece and this will hold the twine in place.

If you want to paint or sand the board, now is the time.

Next take your bulldog clips and space them to where you would like them on the board.

SIMPLE TOOLS NEEDED TO FINISH THIS RUSTIC PROJECT

Using a nail and hammer, attach them to the pallet.

Attach pictures and enjoy.

OPTION 2 PHOTO HOLDER

I also made another style of photo holder that takes a few more boards. You can see that below.

To create this style, I took 3 boards and cut them to 10 inches each. Then I took another board and cut it down the middle to make it thinner. I attached one at the top and one at the bottom to hold the boards together. I added one bulldog clip and then stapled the twine to the back.

    I love both versions of your pallet photo holders, Regina. They would make such lovely gifts too, especially now that Valentine’s day is around the corner. Oh, and I have so many pallet offcuts that need to be used up, so this is perfect.

    Love the heart paper you added underneath the photos, the layers really finish it off.

    What a great idea, you took a scruffy pallet and turned it into an elegant rustic holder. And those photos are just too cute. I also like the 3 plank version. Welcome to IBC. 😁
