DIY Christmas Snowman Sign Made From a Pallet!
I recently made several pallet signs from reclaimed wood. If you don’t know, a pallet is made up of 1 x’s on the top and is held together with 2 x 4’s on the bottom. After using the 1x’s I had several 2×4’s left over and I couldn’t let them be kindling for an outside bon fire… I had to reclaim this wood! I decided to make them into a Christmas snowman sign!
Do you have an old pallet, or 2×4’s, lying around and want to reclaim them? Make these adorable snowman signs! These signs are incredibly easy to make.
Before painting, you may want to lightly sand. When lightly sanding wood, it helps the paint to adhere a little better.
You can cut some of the pallet to make the lip of the hat, or you can used a rolled up Christmas sock as a beanie. I used part of the wood from the pallet to make my hat. I cut out the piece I needed, and then nailed it to the wood.
First you’ll want to paint the bottom of the sign. I used house paint samples for the white (you can buy at your local hardware store). Before painting the face, buttons, or anything else you’ll want the white to dry thoroughly.
After you paint the white body, you can finish up the sign. You can paint the hats black, use household items as templates and paint the eyes, nose, and mouth.
You can use ribbon or fabric to make the scarf, just measure out the sizes you need, and hot glue them onto the snowman.
Voila, you’ve got a beautiful snowman sign decoration for Christmas! These are AWESOME as Christmas gifts!

These are excellent! I’ll definitely be getting my kids to help design some Halloween themed posts, and later in the year we can repurpose them as snowmen!
Your website is a treasure trove of uses for old pallets! Have you got any tips on keeping the paint sealed? Thanks in advance
Thank you! Your typical sealer is what I used and it’s held up for years!
That is an amazing contrast between the minimalist style in your interior design and the rough look of the pallet wood! I feel like I’d want to seal the pallet wood with something though, what shade of stain would you recommend with furniture that is mostly between maroon and burgundy? I’m excited to start experimenting!
I would do a light stain! It would set a contrast between the dark color of your furniture and it would make the sign pop!
