Hello and welcome to the PalletPalooza™ blog! My name is Susan Rall and I am the Marketing Assistant at Goodwill Industries of Southwestern Michigan. I am going to be sharing cool projects, resources and updated information about PalletPalooza™ on this blog. We also have some great guest bloggers lined up who will be giving us tips and tricks they have learned while making their pallet projects.
Recycled pallet projects are hot hot hot right now. And for good reason! Pallets can be used to make just about anything. They can be found for free and you do not need fancy tools to create something. They are practical for making functional items, but can also be beautiful because each pallet has it's own character.
Everyone is invited to be part of PalletPalooza™. Whether you are a serious artist or weekend crafter - I encourage you to give a pallet project a try. This yellow flower planter was my first pallet project using a free pallet, a jigsaw, hammer, nails, and sandpaper. My daughter and I made it in an afternoon.
It was a little "rough" but when filled with flowers it added a bright spot on my back patio. And honestly, I really enjoyed this piece all last summer, not just because it was cute, but also because it was a handmade and homemade project.
We found this idea on Pinterest. And oh boy - is Pinterest overflowing with ideas for pallet projects! You can follow our PalletPalooza Pinterest page HERE where we are pinning some of the best ideas out there.
We know there are some amazing recycled pallet creations being made right here in Southwestern Michigan. We are so excited to see what people are making! Registration for the competition begins March 28th through June 30th.
So stay in touch with us - and let's have fun!
