Pallet crafts

Pallet crafts are crafts and projects which use discarded wooden shipping pallets.

Wooden pallets are often used for shipping products, but when these get old, they are often thrown away. However, there are many ways to recycle old pallets.

Issue 14 of ReadyMade Magazine issued out a MacGyver challenge to find some way to reuse shipping pallets. In the following two issues of the magazine, plans and pictures for winning submissions were shown. Winning submissions included:

• A bench
• A picnic set
• A chair and table set
• A lounge chair
• A raised garden bed

One can also find plans online for other craft projects using pallets, such as plans for:

• Compost bins
• Birdhouses
• Sheds

Also, one can read about how people have made various things out of pallets, such as:

• A coffee table
• guitars, including famous American quality guitar maker, Taylor Guitars.
• Bunkers for woodsball, a variant of the sport of paintball
• An ignitable pirate raft, filled to the brim with fireworks and flying the Jolly Roger^{[citation needed]}
