Pallet Christmas countdown

by Danique
7 December 2018
in Home interior design

Supplies

  • Pallet
  • Nails (2.5 mm thickness)
  • Pencil
  • Tape measure
  • Waterproof marker (black)
  • Template with numbers
  • Hammer
  • Circular saw
  • 25 Christmas baubles

Step 1

First of all, it is useful to know how the pallet Christmas tree is constructed. With our calculations we came to 7 rows. 2 of the 7 rows get 4 nails, so we end up with 25 places.

Step 2

After the calculation, take the pallet apart so that you have loose planks. It may be useful to add row numbers on the back of the planks.

Step 3

Then use a circular saw to saw the planks into the correct ‘Christmas tree’ sizes.

Step 4

Tie the planks together. This can easily be done by attaching a remaining plank at the back over the length. You can also use small kindling for smaller parts.

Step 5

Now it’s time for some more precise work: the carpentry of the 25 days. First we draw the right amount of spots on each board with pencil. You can use a measuring tape or tape measure to leave the same amount of space between each spot.

Step 6

Then hammer the nails with a hammer at the marked spots.

Step 7

Do you happen to have templates of numbers? Then this step is very simple. If you don’t, you can find a lot of number templates via Pinterest.

Place the numerical templates above the nails. Then you can use a waterproof pen to colour in the template so that the letter appears above the nails.

Stap 8

After every day of the countdown calendar is over, you can hang a Christmas ball or other decoration on the nail. The closer you get to Christmas, the more the countdown calendar is decorated.

You can place the countdown calendar on a cabinet or hang it on the wall. For the latter, it is useful to attach a suspension system to the countdown calendar.
