This is a fun pallet project.
It combines my love of rustic weathered pallets and gardening.
First though, I would like to say hi to my first grade school teacher Mrs. Heckendorn who apparently reads my blog every morning with her coffee.
Ok, are you ready to learn how to make your own?
You will need an old pallet. I am lucky enough to have a place near me that always has a pile of them for free. So I went there and picked out the most weathered one I could find and wrangled it into the back of my sequoia.
Then you will need to cut it into a circle with a jigsaw.
Mine is approx. 40" diameter.
marked 20" out all the way around, and cut out on the line.
a nail gun to secure.
Next up you will need 12 old rusty garden tools.
I got a couple at a thrift store and found the rest at The Farm Chicks this past weekend.
I am certain you can find these at garage sales for way less than I paid per tool.
Mine ranged between $3.00-$10.00 each.
Lay everything out and when you think it looks good, screw them into place.
Obviously this is not a functional clock, but I am sure you could easily do that if you wanted too.
I think the rustier and chippier the tools are, the better.
I especially love the ones with the faded colors.
And it's a perfect addition to my potting bench!
So clever and unique! I love this.
this is SOOOO amazing! love the creativity!
This is just amazing!! Perfect for the outdoors.
Oh my gosh, you are so darn creative! That is too fun for the garden!
Ah! This would be so cute with vintage kitchen gadgets too!
You're a genius! This is so cute!!
You go girl! Very cute.. love your artistic spirit... I would love for you to share it at the Home Sweet Garden Party!
Stop the madness - this is amazing!
I am crazy about this project! You are so creative!! Love!
Stopping in to pin. With any luck by summers end I will have one of these on my patio. We've already got round spool tops, and I'm sure I've got plenty of rusty tools. I love it!
