Pallet decorations for Halloween, the holidays, and beyond

It’s that time of year. The start of fall is the signal for homeowners, business owners, people young and old, to get out the decorations and celebrate the season. Getting creative is always the priority and that’s why the 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. Either way there are a multitude of possibilities.

·         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 your front porch. Broken down is best and simply add a rusty latch and some creepy crawlies, such as spiders and snakes.

·         Several pallets together that are broken down with loose boards provide a scary fence across your yard. Add a few tombstones – you can cut these from additional pallets and paint family names on them – and you’ll have the perfect haunted cemetery.

·         Really bring your cemetery to life with a pallet flat on the ground with ghouls and skeletons trying to get out. Broken boards for your monsters to break through set the mood with light shining from beneath.

For decorators who are handy with a saw and paint, cut ghost shapes from pallets and paint them white. Or simply paint a Frankenstein face on a pallet. The square shape is perfect.

Fall Festivals

Pallets are the perfect backdrop for decorating 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, choose a pallet in slightly better condition and paint a fall scene to set on your front porch, against a tree in your yard, or near your backyard gathering space.

Holidays

For Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, and New Year’s Day décor, pallets can be dressed for the event. From fall leaves to sparkling garland and twinkling lights, decorations that are removable 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 decorations made from pallets. Add a stand to the back of the pallet and display pictures or high school/college awards at a graduation party or attach party favors for a birthday party or bridal shower. Using string, clothes pins, or hooks, a pallet provides a backdrop for virtually any display.

Several pallets attached together can provide the perfect photo opportunity at weddings or anniversary celebrations. The pallets can be draped with fabric and strings of lights or attach artificial greenery for the perfect hedge wall. By making your pallet setup easy to put together and dismantle, your display is reusable. You can even rent it out for special events with a box of easy-to-attach decorations or accessories.
