How to Craft a Giant Pallet Ornament for Holiday CheerThis pallet ornament captures the wonder of Christmas in a rustic yet elegant way.

Its soft curves, glittering bow, and tiny bells make it feel like a keepsake you’ll bring out year after year.

While it’s simple to create, it carries an air of handmade warmth that store-bought décor can never match.

Every brushstroke and detail adds your personal touch, turning leftover wood into a festive centerpiece filled with holiday spirit.

Materials Needed

  • Pallet wood slats (6-7 pieces, cut to 18” wide × 2.5” tall × 0.5” thick)
  • Backing board (plywood, approx. 18” × 18” for support)
  • 1 small scrap of thin wood or cardboard (to form ornament “cap”)
  • White acrylic or chalk paint (1 pint)
  • Paintbrushes (flat 2” brush + detail brush)
  • Decorative ribbon (2–3” wide, 30” length)
  • 2 small red jingle bells (1.5” each)
  • Hot glue gun + sticks
  • Wood glue + small nails
  • Jigsaw or hand saw for shaping
  • Sandpaper (120 grit)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut pallet wood into equal-length slats and attach them side by side onto the plywood backing with wood glue and nails.

Step 2: Draw a large ornament circle (approx. 18”) on the slats. Then use a jigsaw to cut out the round ornament shape.

Step 3: Sand the edges smooth to remove splinters.

Step 4: Paint the ornament white (or any festive color of your choice). You can apply 2 coats for even coverage.

Step 5: Cut and attach a small cap at the top using thin wood or sturdy cardboard. Also, paint it silver or gold.

Step 6: Hot glue a bow at the top and add dangling jingle bells for extra charm.

Step 7: Hang it on your wall, porch, or entryway to greet guests with Christmas cheer.

Notes:

If you prefer a rustic look, skip the full paint and just whitewash the pallet wood so the grain shows through.

You can also add stenciled snowflakes or family initials for personalization.
