Upcycled Pallet Book Bin

Do you have an old pallet lying around? Upcycle it into a bookshelf or book bin. This has got to be the easiest craft ever. I didn’t have one on hand but I asked around and the very next day I received one.  Pallets are not hard to find.

To grow a reader, it is imperative that books be very accessible to kids. Reachable reading materials encourage learning and exploring. This happens to be the book bin in our laundry room. I fold laundry while the kids can enjoy a book!

• pallet
• saw
• spray paint

 

1. Cut a pallet in half. Remove top front board on one side of the pallet. This will be the opening for your books.
2. Spray paint and let dry.
3. Stuff the pallet with books and enjoy!

I don’t recommend hanging this on a wall, as pallets are very heavy. The benefit is this pallet bookshelf is at a kid-friendly level!
