Easy Pallet Wood Arrows Tutorial

We had a really busy weekend with my sister’s wedding, so forgive me for the short post today. I’m sharing a quick craft I made to gift my sister-in-law for Christmas this past year. I made easy pallet wood arrows and I have a photo tutorial for you to make them, too! This project started the way many of my projects do, with an old pallet.

I began by trying to disassemble the pallet. When that was not going smoothly, I just marked off lines for me to cut the arrows out of what was accessible.

Using a saw blade power tool thingy I have (watch my pallet wood clock video to see it in action), I cut the wood.

The next step was to stain the wood. I mixed up a homemade stain using just steel wool and vinegar. Let this mixture sit overnight before you use it. The vinegar breaks down the steel wool and creates a liquid that stains your wood a grayish brownish color.

When the pallet wood arrows dried, I flipped them over and joined the wood together. First, I spread wood glue in the seam. Then I nailed on some picture hanging hardware.

Lastly, I used my hammer to put small nails in the wall, spaced evenly on a vertical axis.

As you can see, the arrows turned out great! They decorate my sister-in-law’s bedroom which I recently helped her paint and style. The full reveal of her bedroom makeover will be on my blog soon!

Do not forget to pin this image! If you want a very low cost, handmade gift for someone, this easy pallet wood arrows tutorial will certainly come in handy.
