Olga's Craft Den: DIY Shelf from Pallet Wood-

From Simple to Extraordinary:

A while back I found this pallet and I wanted

to make something amazing with this piece.

And let me say that it wasn't easy but with my husband's help

we achieved a very beautiful piece.

I moved to this home a while back and my old apartment

was small, so I really don't have any wall art or canvases.

I was sad to see my dining room walls so bare.

So I plucked up the courage and decided to make something.

Materials:

The simplest things would make this piece look amazing.

I went to Target and got the gold candle holder and I love it.

And for $3.00 It's an awesome piece.

I wanted a more vintage look, and the end product doesn't disappoint.

I used another ply of wood to make sure that it kept the others straight.

Make sure that after you set all the wood the way you desire that you

sand your pallet down. You could get a splinter if not done correctly and

those are very painful.

I love this shelf, the wood looked so beautiful without paint.

and after we sanded it down it was so smooth.

I made sure I sanded the edges as well so when you are ready to

put it on the wall is not rough in your hands.

I'm not very good with a Hammer lol!!

So I let my husband do his thing.

He was having so much fun with this project.

It was our first project together and I enjoyed it very much...

Make sure that the nails are going through the wood as

straight as possible because any wrong moves and the wood could

crack on you.

This project was time consuming but every minute was well

worth it. We spray painted this shelf in the basement. Out of experience,

I DO NOT recommend for you to do that and more if you have kids in your home.

Unless you have a window down their that you could open to let

the fumes vent outside or just spray it outside or liquid paint.
