I made this King Sized Patterned Pallet Headboard using one old barn beam that I cut in half to form the two main posts. The remaining wood is all from pallets.
This King-Sized Patterned Pallet Headboard would be a beautiful addition to a guest room or resize for kid’s beds
I plan to install two pot-style LED lights, but for now, two clamp-on lights are a temporary fix. I did a rapid-aging stain by mixing apple cider vinegar with steel wool until it rusted and colored the liquid. Then I rubbed it in, allowed it to dry, and then sealed it with Varathane. I joined everything together with glue and screws. First, I cut an old barn beam into two equal parts. Next, I cut a channel into one side of each wide enough to fit the pallet boards. Then I lightly sanded all of my pallet boards and began to assemble. I cut the ledge pieces into a notched shape to fit within the channels. I cut the patterned portion to fit, and then screwed it to the upper & lower ledges. Also, I attached them to a 2×4″ board that runs across the back. There is a second 2×4″ board that runs along the back on the lower portion of the headboard. It stabilizes the two barn posts.
A channel was cut into most of the length of the headboard. Both the top and bottom ledges are notched to fit within the channel, and the patterned portion is attached to the ledges.
Here’s an idea for a Pallet Bed Frame too!
