Wood Pallet Fall craft on the cheap!
I love to Fall craft, and on the cheap is even better! I am really digging the wood pallet/crates lately!
Seeing I change things up so often in the kitchen,
there is no sense of spending a lot of money on home decor.
I went to Michael's today, for one thing and one thing only!
Well, I left with more, but again all cheap and marked down.
This little wood crate was marked down to $7.00, plus I had a coupon, so it was even cheaper than that.
HAD no clue what I was going to do with it.
I knew for certain, I would paint it,( ASCP), dark wax it, and then lightly sand.
Wanted it too look a little weathered and worn....
Wanted it too look a little weathered and worn....
I knew there would be a little bit of stenciling on my project, because, there always is these days.
And seeing it is almost Fall, I thought a tree would be simple and appropriate.
Did I mention I have been canning some home made pizza sauce?
YUM, yes I am, and it is good!
YUM, yes I am, and it is good!
So there it serves a purpose, looks cute, and it took care of my Fall craft fix for the day on the cheap.
Just wanted to show you the other ways these little crates could be used...
Cute right?
Have a great day!
and as always your sweet visits.

I love it!
Definitely cute! There's an awful lot of creativity floating around in that head of yours...I love it.
Someday's I wish I had more counter space. That looks so cute.
Dag-nab-it. That's it I'm dragging the MIL to Michaels on Saturday. I think a stack of these are a must for....well, I bet you can guess just what I might store in there... chuckle-chuckle.
And don't for a second, think I missed that beautiful picnic table, pizza over and all the splendor of your new outdoor "ROOM". There, I said it, you have an addition on your house. I mean my deck is considered another room.
And lastly, I had to pull out a turtleneck this morning. 40 out, so Fall is on it's way.
Thanks again for the fun party. It always good for me to change things up.
That turned out great. You always figure out something to do with what you find. I love your scale.
How cute! It looks like you'll get alot of use out of that all year. Pretty storage is always a bonus.
What a CUTE project Debbie! You always come of with the cutest ideas.
Enjoy your evening,
Gail
Really cute! I love the tree!
Connie

I love this, Debbie! You really have the best ideas!! We all need extra storage and this is so cute!!
XO,
Jane
That is so clever and I love the paint/wax/stencil job on it!
Oh, Debs! Can I call you that? I tend to call people nicknames. Hope you don't mind. Now, that crate is fabulous. I love what you did with it!
Looks great. Love your fall sprucing.
Very cute. I like the stenciling you chose too, especially the tree. Went to Michaels myself this afternoon and came home with picks, picks, and more picks! :)
Cute! I was at michaels today also...and left with more than I had planned!
I like your rooster night light and love your scale!
Homemade pizza sauce sounds delicious.
I love it! I never see anything like this at Micheals! Go figure??
There will be a run on crates at Michael's now! What a cute idea! I love lots of unique ways to store things! Hugs! ♥
What a great idea Debbie! There will be a shortage on crates now! What color did you paint the crate....did I miss that in the posting? LIttle miss talented! Thanks for sharing! I can already taste you homemade pizza!
Hi SIS, your craft is wonderful and I have to say your photography is great !!

How cute and a perfect cubby to sit on the cabinet where it does.
Thank you for linking to Potpourri Friday. You are such an asset to the party's success!
This turned out so cute, great idea. Every woman can come up with an idea if she has a Michaels coupon!! thanks so much for linking up! xoxo
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, you are amazing! I love this and the touch of that little stenciled tree is perfect!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You have the cutest ideas, Debbie!
Love it! It has that perfect weathered look to it. And jarred pizza sauce - yum! I made a bunch of salsa, but our tomato crop was a bit disappointing this year. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Debbie!!! How lovely your crate turned out!!! Practical and beautiful, what more one can want?!?! Clever you!!
I love this idea. Thanks for sharing. I would love for you to share it on my link party at cookienut.blogspot.com
That turned out adorable!! Love the shade you waxed and it's perfect in your kitchen. If you tire of it there later you can put towels in a bathroom. Wouldn't a few of those look great in a closet as organizers? Versatile, very versatile.
Wow Debbie! It's SO neat! Love, love, love it!
Have a great day!

Love the tree motif. You are so good to be canning. I have not canned a thing in many years.
Debbiedoo,you doo the most fabulous stuff,can't wait to see all the pretty jars of sauce.

I have to tell you, I just bought that exact bin. It was damaged on the corner so it was marked sown to $2.49! Of course, yours looks way better...mine just holds dog treats, etc.
So cute! Great job thrifting retail style. Hugs, Ginger
Really cute, Deb! I wish I could find one. I know exactly what I need it for in MY kitchen:):) XO, Pinky
Very cute indeed. The tree added just the right touch.
Hugs,
Ellen
Love this. I just made two signs yesterday around the word HOME, will be posting them next week.
So cute and clever, Debbie! You just never know where a great "bargain" is going to lead you.
I love your backyard "living space!" Wood doesn't hold up very well in our climate, otherwise I would love an ole fashioned picnic table. It is just so charming. Can't wait to see your pizza oven!
I'm so anxious to join one of your Copy Cat parties, but I have to get my craft room set up first, because I'm pretty sure I will need my glue gun for something!
Have a great weekend!

There's no Michael's in my neck of the woods but I love the tree you stenciled on the side of the crate. Where did you get it??? Please blab! I am trying to find just the right tree for a project and that might fit the bill...or maybe I'll have to add curly roots too. I dunno. We'll see!
Liz
Thanks gals. The tree came from Michaels as well in the stencil section. I thought it was adorable too. Have a great day.
Beautiful transformation, Debbie! I have no counter top space for anything, and I'm drooling for yours :-)
Love the look of your "new" crate! :)
super job.
thanks for linking up and linking back. Catching you this week!
