Turn a Pallet Into a Plant Hanger
5 years ago I got an itch to make a decorative piece for my patio out of a wood pallet. I brought a pallet home from work and started removing some of the slats. OK, has anyone else ever tried to take the slats off of a pallet? HOLY *#@&%! Its really hard! I even had my oldest son come out and help me, I was really struggling! (These things are built to NOT come apart apparently.) After i FINALLY got the slats off of one side, I sanded and stained the whole thing.
Exhausted (and a bit deflated) I realized I really didn’t have a definite PLAN for this piece of pallet art. So it has been hanging on my patio looking like this for a LONG time...
5 years later…
I don’t know what happens sometimes. This was not on my radar at all for a dreary Wednesday afternoon…but the vision came from out of the blue. I’m tired of looking at this unfinished project and I'm going to turn it into a hanging succulent garden. You will find the link for the full post below. But the pics tell a pretty good story. 
create a noose with thick twine
tie ends of noose together with thin twine
Hot glue the knot to secure
SHORT wood screws
Do not drill the screws flush to the wood, leave some room to hang the noose from the screw head
10 nooses...
Beautiful! Why did I wait SO LONG to finish this project?

It is very cute but I wouldn't count on hot glue holding that much weight of pot, plant and soil for long. Knot the rope before you put on the twine.

Looks lovely!

Have a question about this project?
great idea, thanks, but what about the water running out?
Best wishes, Charlene
Do you move the succulents planter indoors from your patio when the weather turns cold?
That looks so good, really classy. Maybe you could add some hooks on the bottom row for vintage hand tools, garden equipment etc? You've inspired me to go look at my palletts now. 😊
