Another amazing DIY project using free pallet wood. Who knew
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:
1.
Need to buy from Lowes (or local hardware store)
a. 1
½ nails or so. (or whatever you have around the house)
b. 1”
(thick) x 2 wide X 8ft (length) craft board
($4)
c. ¾(thick)
x 4”(wide) x 4ft (length) ($4)
2.
Cut one 4ft long of (a.) then screw it to the
back (making a stopper)
3.
Cut strips of (a.) to create a pathways for the
wine glass to slide into (this will require measuring between so they are
straight and even)
4.
Cut (b.) to the width of the pallet and screw b
onto a) to create a holder on the pathway so the wine glass don’t fall out.
(center each one so they look straight and even)
Happy woodworking J
*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!
