5 easy steps to Make Wood Pallet Bed



I have received so many questions on how to do the wood pallet bed, and what inspired me to make it. Well here it goes...



 In all honesty I didn't think this through before getting a new bed. Around July of Last year I was getting ready to move into a new condo, and I decided to leave my bed at the old house. 

I wanted to have a DIY project and really focus on making my room a safe haven. This is my first single room since I moved to college, so I was excited (Although I do really miss my college roomie Letty). 

Whenever I decorate, I make an inspiration board and I go from there.   
What you Need:
1.Wood Pallets - you can find these behind most large stores such as a Lowe's, Home Depot,CVS, or Costco. I found mine in a beautiful stack behind Ralphs. It is best to ask the store manager if you can take them, because they might recycle them. I only used four pallets for a Twin/Full bed.
(make sure to make a big enough car when pick these up)

2. Sand Paper - you can get a Sand Paper packet or you can get the Sander. Personally I went with the cheaper route and got single sandpaper. It took longer but it wasn't too bad.

3. Hammer - to hammer any nails that are sticking out

4. Paint(optional) - I used white paint, which gave them a nice clean look but I also like the natural wood color for a more rustic vibe. 

5. A Friend - Shout out to my Sis MyLee 



Thanks for reading and I hope you have a fun time making your wood pallets bed.
