How to take a pallet apart

first of all, let me tell you this is hard work! wear gloves, and use a hammer to get the boards off. You need strnght, but also you have to be careful in removing the nail, or the pallet will split. For more detailed pictures, follow the link.

I made flowers out of various dishes and china. Plus metal pipe and I have really cute flowers!

Using window caulk instead of glue, just caulk pieces together. Add a flattened silver spoon to the back so the handle can go down in the hollow pipe to make them into flowers for you garden art!

  • Great idea for re-purposed yard decor.
  • Plant at each of the four corner posts. 1

When the canvas wears out, simply plant floral vines at each corner of the frame to create a live canopy.

  • On my DIY bucket list
  • This almost shows the whole of both towers. 8
  • I disassembled all of my collected lamps and laid out the globes to see approximately how much rebar I needed for the tower. 2
  • I used 3/8 inch rebar threaded through all of the pieces. I didn't end up using this base though. The actual construction was quite a bit of trial and error in 100+ temperatures! ARGH!!
  • I used the biggest globe and lamp base for the bottom of the tower. 2
  • I primed and painted all of the lamp pieces I was going to use between the globes. 1
  • I alternated the globe pieces with a lamp parts.  Initially I tried to use only the globes but didn't like
the way the glass rubbed and was afraid they would break. 2
  • After figuring out that the globes were too heavy for one tower, I made a second tower. 5
  • They are beautiful with the sun shinning through 12

My glass tower vision has been fulfilled! I built it!

I saw one of these in a magazine years ago and I've wanted one ever since. It took me several years to collect affordable pieces but after that it was pretty easy. Here is some of how I ...»
did it. For more specifics and lessons learned in the tutorial on my blog. #Itching4Spring
