Hammering, sawing painting and gardening, all in one project.
These upcycled pallet shelves would be great to display plants outside your classroom on a fence. They are useful for starting off succulent cuttings, too, as it keeps them out of reach of slugs and snails. You could cable tie a shelf to a wire fence or screw it to a wooden fence.
An ideal garden for anyone who forgets to water their plants. I left the shelf with the branch on it unpainted and added some succulent cuttings in plant pots. I just need to find a space to fasten it to now.
Learn how to make a plant pot shelf:
Step 1
Ask an adult to help you get the pallet ready. I removed all of the front panels from a small pallet, and then the middle ones from the back, too. I nailed two of the cross sections onto the pallet structure to create a frame.
Step 5
To stop the tin cans falling off the shelves I nailed a thin piece of timber and a branch from a pruned tree across the front. You can fit lots of tin cans or plant pots on your shelves.
Step 9
Painting the shelf. I wanted my tin cans to look really bright so I painted the pallet shelf black. Leave the paint to dry.
