I made this half-moon cradle from used pallets. I have all the pallets I needed from my work, so I don’t know how many pallets exactly are in it.

As always with any pallet project for a bedroom and even more for a baby or kids, take great care to the pallets you will use and be sure they are safe. For this, read carefully our article on what pallets are safe to use.

And, if you want to make your own pallet half-moon cradle, we have a tutorial available :)

    • Hi, Heather the admin. assistant here. Some glues used can contain formaldehyde, and they can outgas. Babies are particularly susceptible. BUT... there are newer versions of plywood, MDF, and veneer glues that are formaldehyde free so that consumers have a choice. According to healthychild.org, here are some steps you can take to make your interior living quarters as safe as possible:

      Reduce indoor air pollution from formaldehyde and protect your children’s health using these easy steps:

      Choose certified-sustainable hardwood cabinets and furniture utilizing traditional joinery and stainless steel drawer bottoms, salvaged wood, UF-free fiberboard, or baked-enamel metal, which emit less chemical vapor into the air. Or, reject permanent cabinetry altogether, and use freestanding hardwood tables, shelves and hooks.
      Choose formaldehyde-free medium density fiberboard (MDF) in place of plywood for outdoor areas. Fiberboard can be made from recycled wood, paper or plant fiber waste, which is compressed and molded into boards without adhesives.
      Look for an “exterior glue” stamp on regular plywood, which means it contains PF instead of UF glues.
      If particleboard can’t be avoided, finish with a non-toxic sealant (latex paint won’t seal in vapors).

  • Hello!
    To make the shape, i saw that you used some MDF? That's the worst thing you can do for your baby health.... So the main idea is really nice but please everyone, you need to use good raw material.
