The Story
Make our rustic Santa, Sleigh and Reindeer entirely from boards salvaged from free shipping pallets! Display them 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 plans include full-size patterns and complete instructions to make standing Santa and two versions of both the Sleigh and Deer: 3 dimensional, self-standing versions and simple-to-make, flat versions that require yard stakes.
Your Pallet Wood Santa, Sleigh and Deer can be painted using a color wash as shown that shows off the unique character of the pallet boards or simply a solid color. (Santa stands 42" tall, both Sleigh versions measure 42" long x 25" tall, both Deer versions measure 23" long x 40" tall)
