Pallet Decorations for Halloween, the Holidays, and Beyond
Written by TC Pallet
It's that time of year. The start of fall is the signal for homeowners, business owners, and people young and old to get out the decorations and celebrate the season. Getting creative is always the priority, and that's why DIY decorators who know turn to used pallets as the perfect place to start.
Tri County Pallet has the used pallets you need to get started on unique decorations for the upcoming fall and holiday seasons, and the best part is these decorations are reusable and even rentable. With tools, accessories, and your artistic ability, you can go all out. You are limited only by your imagination.
Halloween
Worn, broken down, and weather-beaten pallets are ideal for Halloween decorations whether you use them intact or take them apart and reconstruct the boards into your version of scary.
- Build a box of pallets with skeletons or ghouls locked inside. Add chains, a padlock and cobwebs for effect and light from the inside.
- Set a pallet on its side as a gate to your yard or front porch with a rusty latch and creepy crawlies.
- Several pallets attached with loose boards make a scary fence — add tombstones cut from extra pallets for a haunted cemetery.
- Lay a pallet flat with ghouls and skeletons trying to break through, lit from beneath.
For decorators handy with a saw and paint, cut ghost shapes from pallets and paint them white, or paint a Frankenstein face on a pallet — the square shape is perfect.
Fall Festivals
Pallets are the perfect backdrop for fall and harvest festivals. Their rough and worn planks provide just the right amount of rustic charm for a display of pumpkins, straw, cornstalks and lanterns. For the artistic, paint a fall scene on a better-condition pallet to set on your front porch or near your backyard gathering space.
Holidays
For Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's décor, pallets can be dressed for the event. From fall leaves to sparkling garland and twinkling lights, removable decorations can be stored away, making your pallet the perfect reusable backdrop for every occasion.
Special Events
Any party, event, or celebration can be made special with pallet decorations. Add a stand to the back of a pallet to display pictures, awards, or party favors. Several pallets attached together make the perfect photo backdrop at weddings or anniversaries — drape with fabric, add lights or artificial greenery, and rent it out for events.
