75+ Fabulous Pallet Halloween Ideas: Are You Ready to Pallet-ify Halloween?

Here are 75 & more pallet Halloween ideas that are FRIGHTFULLY fabulous! They range from super-simple to HAUNTINGLY intricate. Thanks to our past crafters for some of these submissions, and to the DIY community in general for other ideas! We can’t wait for more!

Pallet Halloween Ideas – Blockheads and more fast, fun ideas – some from scrap pallet wood

Put those scrap blocks to good use. Some of these ideas would require NO woodworking experience whatsoever, and you don’t have even to be good at art. You just have to have a little fun (and a few leftover/scrap nails). These would be great for centerpieces, for placeholders – like making a different block creature for each of your family or friends – or just decorative touches.

Use those scraps and trimmings you have lying around in a bucket or container. If you save a lot of scraps, you may not even have to do much cutting at all. Add a piece of branch for a stem, and coat the boards however you want, and you’ve got master-“pieces.” These pumpkins wouldn’t rot or freeze and don’t have to be carved.

Scrap O’ Lanterns

A “Pumpkin” Lantern decoration made from pallet wood. This charming lantern can be made with an adorable face or as frightening as you want it! Painting the carved-out areas highlights the workmanship. For safety, light it up at night with glow sticks or little LED candle lights.

When crafting with pallets, we all end up with one or two boards that are partially split or broken on one end. Wouldn’t they be terrific for these little cutouts? You could accomplish these with just a hand saw if you want, but a jig saw or band saw would make the project even faster.

Another brilliant and fun idea: make an “out of candy” or “out of treats” sign for your front porch if you don’t want to turn out the porch lights. Again, you wouldn’t have to do a single cut. Use a scrap piece of wood and decorate it as you choose.

Trick or Treat, Scrap my Feet

How about this scrappy little creature? These could be made from bits and pieces, and they’d be amazing for your Halloween decor. You can make crazy spiders, or scary ones with fangs, or anything else your Blackened, Halloween Heart wants.

Block Candle Holders are great and can be drilled out or just chiseled out for shallow tea lights. Then, just decorate them any way you want!

These simple pallet block pumpkins can be used for Halloween and all the way through Thanksgiving or the full fall season. Create your own colorful or whimsical style, and change it up whenever you want! These would be a great project to do with the kids!

These little ghosts could be pieced together from scraps in your workshop (or cut out from broken boards or scraps), but no one would ever know! Use some scrap wire to hang them (or a stronger fishing line), and get “spirited”.

Spoooooky scrap cutouts

This pieced-together pumpkin would be ideal for that one pallet board that got split or damaged. You NEED to have a cut board, so why not let Mother Nature (or wrong forklift driving) help you along with it? Then, lace the parts together with twine, wire, or anything else you choose.

This witch COULD cost you five dollars… Or you could use your Pallet creativity, and do it for FREE! Wouldn’t this be fun to prop in a corner, or put outside in front of the shrubs?

Pallet Halloween Ideas – Now you may have to do a little more work to make these, but they’re still fun and festive

The next set is a bit more challenging, but worth the extra bit of effort, and would dress up any Halloween decor.

This Jack O’ Pallet is EXTREMELY challenging. Don’t roll your eyes. How can any of you resist all those intact boards? But make this craft, and THEN turn it into something else. That’s the beauty of pallets as a medium.

These pallet ghosts aren’t scaring anyone, but they’re certainly charming. It wouldn’t take too much to make these, and again, you could use partial pieces of wood, too. Just adjust your ghosts for the scraps you’ve got!

Haunted pallet gate: Halloween ideas inspired by Hotel California, Poe’s The Raven, The Walking Dead, and The Treehouse of Horrors. Now, this Halloween spook-fest doesn’t even need any building skills or tools! Make it more frightening by having the kiddies make little hand-prints. Add some plastic body parts, easily found at a discount store such as a dollar store, and make it even more creepy! It would be an excellent project to have the kids help out on. “Bloody” little handprints are much more frightening than usual ones.

Having a Halloween party? Why not recycle your wooden pallets to create your very own bar. Pile the pallets on top of each other to reach your desired height and nail them together to create a free-standing bar. You can use solid wood on the top to make a flat, wide surface. Cover the bar in pumpkins, candles, and fairy lights before lining up some bar stools along the side. You’ll be ready to serve up your Halloween treats!

Transform your pallets into pumpkins just in time for Halloween! Paint the wood using orange colored outdoor furniture paint. Get creative and add glitter, or draw on spiders! To make a more realistic pumpkin, either paint on the brown stalk by hand or attach a wooden log to the top of the crate with string. These look great stacked by your front door or propped up on the garden steps.

Why not get creative and recycle your wooden pallets and turn them into lanterns? You can fit a lamp inside and connect this to a power socket to create a more substantial lamp. Alternatively, you can place candles inside the lantern, to give a more ambient light. Depending on the size of your new lantern, you can place pumpkins (with candles inside) into the lanterns and then hang them from the trees or ceiling.

You can create one sign with multiple directions on, or alternatively, create single arrows and place them around your house and garden. Paint the signs with outdoor paint in creepy colors and use a black marker to write the destination.
