Crafts and projects which use discarded wooden shipping pallets Pallets reused as benches

Pallet crafts are crafts and projects which use discarded wooden shipping pallets.

Wooden pallets are often used for shipping products, but when these get old, they are often thrown away. However, there are many ways to recycle old pallets.

Issue 14 of ReadyMade Magazine issued out a MacGyver challenge to find some way to reuse shipping pallets. In the following two issues of the magazine, plans and pictures for winning submissions were shown. Winning submissions included:

  • A bench
  • A picnic set
  • A chair and table set
  • A lounge chair
  • A raised garden bed

One can also find plans online for other craft projects using pallets, such as plans for:
