DIY Faux Aged Pallet Box Story & photos by Emily Olson
T
he stark months between the winter holidays and spring are often overlooked for seasonal decorating. This year cheer up your space with fresh color by bringing the outdoors inside. Nature is always a sure bet and simple evergreen clippings are a perfect choice. Natural elements go hand-in-hand with mason jars in a rustic wood box. Creating your own box from pallet wood is inexpensive, easy and fun! This piece will also transition seamlessly from season to season. Warm weather is around the corner and you can replace the winter greenery with tulips, daffodils or lilac branches. Pallets are plentiful but finding one that has an aged appearance and is in good enough condition to use is a challenge. Fortunately, the simple aging technique used here can completely transform new pallet wood.
