Pallet Wood Santa Plan

Make this rustic Santa entirely from boards salvaged from free shipping pallets! Display him indoors or outside.

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 jolly old St. Nick can be painted using color washes that show off the character of the salvaged pallet boards or simply with solid colors. Our plans include full-size patterns and complete instructions. (42" tall)

NOTE: Pine boards or low-cost fence boards can also be used to make this fun project in lieu of salvaged pallet boards.
