How to Craft Rustic Pallet Trees for Your Holiday Yard

How to Craft Rustic Pallet Trees for Your Holiday YardThese pallet trees are simple to build yet look so polished. By cutting pallet planks into angled pieces, you’ll stack them side-by-side, creating that tree silhouette.

Attach them to a central post for stability and finish with a wooden star on top.

You can paint them green, whitewash them for a snowy look, or leave them raw and rustic.

This project works great for outdoor holiday décor that holds up through the season.

Make a few in different sizes, and you’ll instantly have a festive forest standing tall in your yard.

Materials Needed

  • 8-12 pallet planks (approx. 36” long each)
  • 1 wood post (2” × 2”, height depending on tree size)
  • Wooden star cutout (about 6-8”)
  • Saw (miter saw recommended for clean 45° cuts)
  • Wood screws (1.5” to 2”) and drill
  • Sandpaper (120-150 grit)
  • Wood stain, green paint, or outdoor sealer
  • Optional: fairy lights

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Dismantle your pallet and sand down the planks to remove rough edges.

Step 2: Cut each plank into angled sections (about 45°) so they fit together like chevrons.

Step 3: Start from the bottom of your post and screw in the longest planks, gradually working up with shorter ones to form a tree shape.

Step 4: Attach your wooden star to the top using screws or wood glue.

Step 5: Finish with your choice of stain, paint, or a weatherproof sealant to protect it outdoors.

Step 6: Place it in your yard or porch, adding fairy lights if you want an evening glow.

Notes:

For added stability, you can secure the base of the post into a wooden stand or bury it slightly in the ground.
