DIY Rustic Pallet Christmas Tree with Solar Lights | Brighten your holiday front porch décor

Описание: A little bit of creativity transforms a free pallet into a rustic Christmas tree for our front porch. In this tutorial, we show how to create outdoor décor with a few power tools, paint and lights.

We picked up this pallet during lockdown with the idea of making something to keep the lockdown boredom at bay. After cutting it to shape, it hung around the garage until inspiration hit and we finished the project for this holiday. I've seen different pallet Christmas tree ideas, but wanted to make something rustic, but not messy. I didn't like the look of the cord from the lights showing or wrapped around the pallet. Even if it's outdoor décor, or a rustic look, I still want this budget DIY project to look a high end piece.

Part of that clean look is to not have electrical cords lying around the porch. We found the perfect solution on Amazon; solar Christmas lights! We don't have to set any timers or remember to turn on or off the lights. They just take care of themselves! Ralph drills the exact sized holes to secure the lights, for a tidy, seamless look.

For the entire project, only pallet wood was used. To paint and stain, I use left over supplies from other projects. The only money spent on this was buying the lights. I think is it's a low budget, high end success!

This pallet shipped items around the world and now it has a home on our front porch!
