The Story
Using wood from recycled pallets just makes sense...not only do you save money making this attractive display but you also help the environment by saving trees and keeping used pallets out of landfills.
Our full-size pattern includes complete instructions to make our original ghostly trio with pumpkins and leaves. Simple painting instructions are also included on applying a color wash as shown to allow the unique texture of your recycled pallet boards to show through. (40" tall)
NOTE: Pine boards or low-cost fence boards can also be used to make this fun project in lieu of salvaged pallet boards.
