Mini Pallet Organization Board Project

Organization Board Project



Functionality and beauty come together in this lovely organization board. Forget thumb-tacks and neon-colored push-pins, instead you can use some naturally colored clothespins and a few kraft-colored notecards to keep yourself artistically organized through the holiday season.  Best of all, this Mini Pallet Organization Board Project is easy to personalize with different decorative wraps and clothespins, so you can customize it to fit the décor of your kitchen, office, bedroom, or studio. You just need a few items for this project, but the results can be amazing. Make one for yourself, or make a dozen and gift them to all of your favorite disorganized friends.

 

Mini Pallet Organization Board Project Materials:

Collage Pauge Medium Matte
Judikins Diamond Glaze
Decorative Wrap (We used Cavallini & Co. Decorative Wrap – Flora & Fauna Birds 2)
Foam Brushes
Ecology Natural Kraft Index Cards
Wooden Pallet (we used the 14 x 24 inch pallet)
Clothespins
Dark Wood Stain or Brown Acrylic Paint

Organization Board Project

Mini Pallet Organization Board Project Tutorial:

Step 1 – Start by staining your wood pallet with a dark brown wood stain, or alternatively, use brown acrylic paint. Allow to dry overnight.

Step 2 – Carefully cut your decorative wrap into strips that are slightly smaller than the width of the panels on your pallet. The idea is to connect them like a puzzle.

Step 3 – Using collage pauge and a foam brush, generously apply the adhesive to the panels. Do one at a time, starting from the left edge. Once the collage pauge is on the pallet, slowly and firmly press down the strips of paper. Continue this step on each pallet, making sure to match up the designs as you go.

Step 4 – After each strip has been glued down smoothly, paint a thin layer of the collage pauge over each panel.

Step 5 – Paint approximately 8 to 10 clothespins (just on one side) with Tattered Rose Distress paint (or any other color you want) and allow the pins to dry for a few hours.

Step 6 – Once the clothespins have dried, attach them to the pallet using a strong liquid adhesive like Diamond Glaze.

Organization Board Project

That’s it! You’re all done. Use this organization pallet with some coordinating colored paper or Ecology index cards. You can write lists, reminders, or affirmations on the cards and pin them up as reminders or for inspiration. You can also include photographs, cut out images, and just about anything else that can be held by the clothespins.
