Round of up Easy Pallet DIY Wine Themed Gifts

Don't let 2016 slip by without giving a pallet project a try! We have a quick round up of ideas for making wine themed pallet piece that you can keep or give away. Let us know if you tried one!

This video walks you through a basic wine rack. 
Making this style of wine rack was my first project and we gave it away at the WKFR Wine Not Event last February. For a first time pallet project it has a lot of wow factor and will give you confidence to make more pallet projects. 

PalletPalooza™ will be back for the 2017 Wine Not? Winter Wine Festival.

This is another wine rack that was simple to make:

We have it on display by the mailboxes at our Goodwill Headquarters in Kalamazoo, MI.  I used the wood from one broken pallet to add bottom shelves to a pallet in good shape. I did add a 8" pine board to the top since I wanted a little wider space to add my decor pieces. I finished it by staining it ebony to match the black metal mailboxes and cabinets that are in this area of the office. The lights are Christmas Tree lights strung and attached to the back of the shelf. (And the bottles are empties - just for decor purposes! 😉)

Speaking of empty wine bottles - isn't this a beautiful rustic piece? I love it, and you could switch out the floral piece for each season. shanty-2-chic.com has the tutorial. Make two - one to keep and one to give.

A bit of wine art - String art is all over Pinterest (we saved several on our Art & Decor Pallet Board) and it matches so well with pallets.
