Pallet Wood Yard JOY Pattern

Make this fantastic looking holiday yard display almost entirely from boards salvaged from old shipping pallets!

Using wood from recycled pallets just makes sense...not only do you save money making these attractive displays but you also help the environment by saving trees and keeping used pallets out of landfills.

This eye-catching project can be made with either the Holy Family silhouette (shown) or the Baby Jesus in Manger silhouette (inset). Full-size patterns are included for both options. Painting details are also included that allow the rustic texture of the salvaged pallet boards to show. (32" tall letters)
