Pallet Projects – Fence/Wall Art Whale

If I told you that this project cost me a grand total of $0, would you believe me? Seriously, the pallet was free, the paint was leftover, – I might have spent a few cents on sandpaper – but truthfully, I didn’t buy a single thing to make this! My friend Cheryl had sent me […]
