Sorry, more pallet wood projects coming up.
I made these fun fall pumpkins - Summer 2013, but never shared them online.
I glued and nailed together strips of pallet the used a hand held jigsaw to cut a rough pumping shape. Sand, paint, nail to a base and away you go.
I
cut the pumpkin stems from separate wood and glued onto my pumpkins,
but have since seen online where they are part of the same pallet formed
with the jigsaw. If I make more of these I would follow that method,
my stems keep breaking off.
I need to redo the bases with heavier wood too so they can with stand the wind in the fall.
And paint splatter in brown green cream and white, really made the pumpkin skin texture pop.
Adding spiders and faux spider webbing makes these guys last into Halloween too.

Funnily enough I have now 2015 seen stuffed fabric legs at my local craft store, who knew I was a trend setter. I have seen them used on wreaths and sticking up from outdoor pots.
I saw a Trick or Treat stand at a local Fall craft fair, two
years in a row. Both times I mentioned to my hubby that I could make
one myself, I finally got around to it.
This is a GREAT
Dollar Store project. Believe it or not it only cost me approximately
$5.00 to make this Trick or Treat goody bowl stand. The majority of the
parts I already had in my craft stash.
Original post found here.
The only items I purchased for this project are all from the Dollar Store: the candy bowl, the "Come In... " sign, the cat, the broom and the
green craft paint. The green tutu was from my daughters dress up bin,
but was originally purchased from the dollar store. She gave me permission to
re-purpose this for my project.
The stand was built with 2x4's and spare wood. I had orange canvas type
fabric on hand that I painted for the the boots and legs, which I then
sewed together, and painted with Acrylic craft paint.
*I
wouldn't recommend making little swirly toes on the boots as I did - once sewn it
was almost impossible to right side out the fabric and stuff them.
The stand or base was painted black and then I made my own green crackle paint using Dollar store craft glue. Find the crackle paint directions here from Dollar Store Crafts.com.

Like I mentioned in the previous post. I have been on a bit of a Pallet Wood binge. I will be posting some of the projects I have made over the past few years.
The bench I made in the Summer of 2013 and the bird house was last summer, although I never got around to painting it until this Spring.
This bird house has seen a few incarnations and been given away as gifts to family and friends.
I aged the wood with a vinegar and steel wool solution, demonstrated here and used left over household paint for the top planks.
I made the crackle paint with Dollar Store glue, the cheaper the glue the better, but it can't be overly water downed glue. Find the DIY Crackle Paint directions here. ldjfd
