Hello readers of It’s So Very Cheri. I am thrilled to be invited to share with you here. Cheri is a great friend and source of creative inspiration to me. Today, I am going to reveal a never before seen part of my craft room organization – the pallet organizers! This project was so rewarding because my creative space was in desperate need of help…

Something needed to happen, am I right?! Storage solutions are abundant, but can be expensive when purchased in big box stores. I was determined to get creative and come up with some budget friendly ways to get it together.

I decided it was time to go vertical and make use of the abundant wall space. While driving around and looking for garage sales I spied a huge pile of pallets at a local Brewery. They were happy to part with 2 of them, which I loaded into my truck and brought home.

I cleaned them with the hose, let them dry, then I spray painted them black with Krylon Dual (paint and primer in one).

Next I mounted them onto my wall and attached various racks/shelves I picked up at various thrift stores. There was not much planning here. I just spray painted the racks so everything was black, and attached them to the pallets like I would attach them to the wall. That way, the only wall holes are the ones for the pallet. Everything else hangs on the pallet, and is adjustable.

I got the white horizontal tubs at the hardware store for $1.50 each. They are great for fabric.

Once you get the pallets hung, you can customize them to fit your needs. Here are some examples…

I am super happy with my pallet storage units. The only holes in the wall are where I hung the pallets. Best of all… free! Yeah, it took some time and effort, but it was well worth it.
