Pallets are an integral part of shipping units. They are used to provide the foundation for shipping containers which makes handling easier. However, these pallets are usually sold off by shipping companies when they think these can no longer bear the load. If you have an artistic eye or are looking for a DIY art project, you can recycle these pallets to create stunning pieces of art for your home.
