Another amazing DIY project using free pallet wood. Who knew
a pallet wine rack would be so elegant!
a pallet wine rack would be so elegant!
Here are some simple DIY steps to make one of your own:
To start:
Cut the pallet in half (leaving the center support of the
pallet). So you will have 2 big halves and 1 center strip. Using the center
strip pry off the long board and nail it to the bottom of the half cut in the
first part (so u have a basket to hold the wine.) DONE! Willie also drilled 3 holes
with a center drill bit so we could put the 3 bottles upside down.
To create the wine glass holder:

*PS- to make the piece extra special, fill your wine rack
with custom labeled wine bottles. Ours were created by my maid of honor for our
engagement party and rehearsal dinner. I absolutely LOVE them!
