This reversible pallet door hanger features a scarecrow on one side that flips to a snowman on the other side. It’s a great way to transition from fall to winter without any hard work or storage. Just flip it over and you’re done!
I used pallet wood – 4 slats (3 for the body and 1 cut in half vertically for the hat brim) to assemble these cuties. I also had two thinner strips of wood (1/4" x 2") to add additional support at the bottom of the door hanger (I covered these with the shirt and scarf... shhhh... don't tell!)
Line your 3 pallet pieces up next to each other, and temporarily screw in your brim to figure out where you want your brim to be. You’ll want to mark your brim on both sides so that it’s exactly lined up with each other. I found it easier to remove this for painting then reassemble the door hanger later.
Attach the thinner wood piece along the bottom using screws. You can get away with one, or put this support piece on both sides — it should get covered by your scarf or scarecrow collar anyway.
Paint your faces and hats first. After one side dries you can flip it over and do the other side. I watered down my paint a bit and layered it on to create more texture and variation. Then I distressed it a bit with sandpaper to get some of the wood grain back.
