*DIY* Pallet Wood Shutters with Matching Farmhouse Window

[@gloriafields4328]

You have given me so many great ideas for using pallets. I can hardly wait to make the shutters and find he a "stash" of windows to pick from. Thanks and keep up the great work and the fantastic ideas !!!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Gloria Fields Awesome!!! There are so many creations you can make with pallets!! Thank Gloria!!

[@LifeWithLoVlogs]

love the white version of it!! beautiful!!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you!! I have had that window up for so long and added the shutters this past summer, it made such a difference!

[@bethholt2245]

What a great idea!

[@judymathena2981]

Oh I love how these turned out!!! I wish I wasn't afraid of power tools. TFS Great JOB!!

[@miriamperez26]

Beautiful!!!!

[@stephaniesimmons1293]

Absolutely beautiful!! Rustic glam!! Love it!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Stephanie Simmons Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@rebeccalundblad7899]

this is beautiful !

[@gorgeouspaintings]

Fantastic......if only you could teach either my son or husband how to be handy.....lol

[@Adaraperry99]

Why dont you be the handy one!! 😀

[@bonitastarks4262]

Wonderful job and great design.. I done a similar kind with a crate.

[@marylesueur868]

your window stash has me all ♡♡♡♡ I love both versions but I think your white one in your house is my fav!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thanks Mary! I feel like a hoarder of those windows, lol! I'm sure i'll never use them all but they are too great to let go! I can't wait to go to my friend's home to see how she hangs the dark wood ones. I LOVE my white set, but her home is so beautiful I know these will be great for her home's style too. I'll try to post a pic of them up on my facebook page when she shares.

[@marylesueur868]

Oh yes please do!

[@dawngranquist8250]

I wish I could afford a miter saw & nail gun. Those are on my wish list, for sure! Would make my projects so much easier!

[@dawngranquist8250]

Oh, and a jigsaw too!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

My mom was wanting all of this too so that's what I gave her for Christmas. If you have a Harbor Freight nearby or even a Menards they have some great inexpensive options! I know it can be overwhelming when you are starting out though. Hope you are able to get your tools in the future :)

[@RobinJohnsonDecor]

Love the whole set togther...you do good work

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! It is work, but always worth the effort out in the workshop :)

[@pamketron]

Both are beautiful. I prefer your white washed set. Would love to make a set of these. Someday I may have the tools to make these type pieces. Great job as always. Hugs! 💝

[@TheDailyDIYer]

I love the white washed better too :) Thank you Pam!

[@Lauras0801]

I love it! You ar so lucky to have a whole stash of old windows! I'm hoping to get one soon nice we get our great room painted. So far the only place I've found them is an antique store for $24 each.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

I wish you lived near me, I'd just let you dig through my pile and have one. Keep you eyes open! They are on our swap and sell facebook pages a lot for $10 each.

[@ShariSmith2631]

I build something like this today. Love watching your videos and getting ideas from you. Thank you. I want to post a photo but not sure how.

[@aracelisescalona150]

You hold my granddaughter's name. She's 10yrs old. And you are amazing. Wow!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Awe! That's awesome! My daughter is 10 too :) And you are pretty amazing yourself

[@IHeartDisney1]

You are so talented, Shannon! And you got me loving Jacko Bean stain! I had to buy some for when I make my wood signs lol

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Well you are so sweet! Isn't that stain great!? I've been wanting to try a few new ones that are also dark but I think I'm going to keep the same stain with all my projects just to keep things simple. Glad you found some inspiration though!!

[@IHeartDisney1]

I'm the one that did the modge podge Christmas signs that I sent you a pic of. You have definetly inspired me. I never knew I was crafty, then seen your videos and thought, why not? Got a couple more signs to make soon! I'll be sure to post a pic to your fb when I do them.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

OH! Robin right!? Did you see I posted your photo on my facebook brag board album?? It just makes my day to hear this!! So glad you were able to find that hidden talent! Would LOVE to see your new signs when you get to them!!!

[@IHeartDisney1]

Yep, it's me lol. Yes I did see that. Thank you for posting it! I will certainly share them with you!

[@skristenl]

I love these! I want to make a mini size set to sit on my kitchen counter

[@TheDailyDIYer]

That would be SO CUTE! If you do send me a pic! I'd love to see! [e-mail]

[@ledabrooks364]

Loved the video. The music was nerve racking though. I’m definitely making this!

[@deanngardner5578]

just hit mute :)

[@bearded_electrician]

🎵🎶You got a fish tank🎵🎶 is all I heard from the song lol. on a side note These look fantastic. So much so that I'm NOT going to show my wife because she will want some, and I already have several projects I need to get done with first. lol

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Hahaha! I had to go back and listen to see what you were talking about with the song! Too funny! I totally hear that now too! I always have a long list of projects - hope you can try this one down the road :)

[@donnaneidl8256]

Shannon your farmhouse chairs were awesome just love your work just want every thing you do you are amazing . I'm 72and you keep me going

[@maryr3017]

I would like to make some of the pallet wood shutters .But no idea how much to charge.

[@anashilinsky]

Wonderful work!! I liket very much!!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Awe! Thank you so much!

[@monicabernal144]

Hermoso trabajo, Felicidades, Saludos desde monterrey, mexico.

[@amybarkley9597]

How do u keep them together? Do the 1 by 2 boards across and diagonal keep them together ? Seems like they would be loose?

[@yudiolvera1017]

Could you do a tour of your farmhouse decor? I would love to see how you mixed and matched things! tia

[@TheDailyDIYer]

I do hope to some day! I have a few bigger projects in the works, so hopefully after that :) Thanks for the suggestion

[@sarasabus9859]

Loooove this!

[@lorbrn]

These look great. Where do you get your pallets and what stain are you using? Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@shrishan5363]

I use this everyday.

[@deanngardner5578]

Do you have a video on how you take apart your pallets?

[@CarlaRegan-h1s]

Hello, just wondering if these are treated can they be used outdoors. Thank you!

[@melissaamoraa]

Hi! I might've missed it but did you mention the type of nailer you used? I want to rent one from home depot so that I can do this beautiful diy but i dont know which one i would need

[@Lauras0801]

I wish I lived near you, too! Lol. There is a big flea market about an hour away that I want to go to soon and I bet I will find one there cheaper than $24.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

We also have vintage markets around here and my favorite is a German fest that has all kinds of vintage and reclaimed items. Hope you can find one at a fair price! Like you said, flea markets are a great place to look too. I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

[@aliag6985]

How did you hang these to the wall? Hooks, screws?

[@sylviedaoust4542]

When deconstructing the pallets, did you cut nail off at the head? What saw did you use?

[@amybarkley9597]

What stain are you using plz

[@riseshine5191]

May i ask how much you sale the shutters for with out the window ? and with the window?

[@kandaceespinoza4140]

Awesome job!! After you put the stain on do you wipe it off or not?

[@bernicesladeslade3757]

Hay lady, ur just awesome I was wondering do u use a special kind of cloth to apply the stain

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Hi there! Thank you! I use a link free staining cloth (they sell it near the wood stain) or I also use cut up old t-shirts. Both work great!

[@Lauras0801]

Thanksgiving! I'll let you know if I get one on I get to the market. It's just over an hour away and I haven't been there before since we just moved here in Spetember.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Fingers crossed for you! Keep me posted :)

[@ginamaria2579]

Awesome..

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Gina Diefenbach ❤️❤️❤️

[@aracelisescalona150]

Gorgeous! but that machinery freaks me out. Lol Thanks for sharing. Blessings

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Ha! The tools always freaked me out, but hubby gave me a few lessons and off I went! First step is definitely getting over the fear. Then you can create some amazing things! Blessings in return

[@aracelisescalona150]

The Daily DIYer teach us to loose that fear. How to use these dinosaurs (I'm scared of dinosaurs too) Lol. Thanks

[@elisahughes107]

I just recently got an old vintage window but I'm not sure how to clean it. I like that it's white and chippy so I don't want too much of the paint to come off. I haven't tested it for lead paint yet but I read some of those tests don't really work. Would you recommend I seal the paint with something like a polycrylic or is it safe to just leave it alone if I'm just using it for decor? I just don't really know much about the vintage stuff lol 🙈

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Mine is not sealed, and I'm not sure if it has lead paint in it either, but it is up and away and it doesn't chip and flake off so I haven't worried about it too much. I think if it's flaking a lot and hanging where those chips could make it into food or little one's hands, then I'd probably seal it. Like you said, polycrylic if you are worried about it. That's what I would use too.

[@lnltrusty]

Personally I like the white better, but nice job

[@ericagarcia2579]

love these!!! great and easy demonstration i want some for my exterior windows.... how did you whitewash yours?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

+Erica Garcia I dry brush with a sponge brush and chalk paint. Super easy. Layer your strokes to get a great effect.

[@lovedancingxoxoxoxo9843]

How do you do white washrd

[@vickiwalters1529]

Was there a reason the brace between two horizontal braces didn't do to each edge?

[@clevinger71]

What's the best way to hang the windows? I know some are pretty heavy.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

I used D ring hooks. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@clevinger71]

@@TheDailyDIYer ....thank you! I have a window, now I just have to make the shutters! Great tutorial!

[@Freitagsfarmhouse]

What do you use to hang up the shutters?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

I used a saw tooth picture hanger, the kind you just hammer in. If you'd like something more secure I like to use D rings that are made for hanging things (and are also located with the picture hanging hardware)

[@margiekelp4640]

Your fireplace is absolutely beautiful...Did you make your Magnolia wreath on your window?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you! The wreath is from Hobby Lobby, but I did make a smaller one! I'll link that DIY tutorial here for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHS6dWeVq5iWjLM

[@SYRSALLY]

Shannon...what king of sander do you use. I want one but not sure what to get. Loveeee your videos.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Mine is a Dewalt orbital sander. WORTH THE INVESTMENT. If you sand a lot like I do, it makes life so much easier

[@melissarodd7127]

Shannon, have you ever made a mini wooden ladder for kitchen towels on the countertop? :)

[@TheDailyDIYer]

No, but I’ve made bigger ones. Smaller measurements And thinner wood and you’d have it! Love the idea! Totally doable

[@lulitalarico]

Lindo.👏👏👏👏

[@chelle7_myblueeyeddog]

You do such great work. How long have you been doing this? Do you mind me asking you some questions? I am wanting to do this.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Thank you!! I've been making wood projects for about 2 years now. I do have an etsy shop! I don't put much on there, but me and my mom share a Facebook page where I put a lot of my work. Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/crossinmyheart Facebook: www.Facebook.com/HeartToHeartStudios

[@chelle7_myblueeyeddog]

Do you mainly do requests and referrals? I was thinking about opening an Etsy shop but it will probably be too expensive to ship. thinking I might see if an antique store would make a deal with me. I do mine free hand/tracing. I don't have the patience for circut even though I love the look.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Yes, I have built up a client base over the years. I've had a registered small business for about 9 years now. Client orders keep my busy enough. I wish I could free hand. I have nice handwriting, but painting is a whole different ball game. Shipping is the whole reason I don't put a lot on my Etsy. Signs are too big and too heavy. I do have my items in 3 shops though. That seems to go good. My advice, don't pay rent. I've done that several times too. If you an work a % split, that's the way to go.

[@chelle7_myblueeyeddog]

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

[@TheDailyDIYer]

No problem! Happy to help!

[@carigarner9248]

what color stain is that you're using?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

My favorite! It's called Jacobean by Minwax. Great dark rich color

[@johndanniballe3236]

the side you picked to stain was actually the front

[@marilyncoleman2499]

I like that music.Will you tell me the name and artist?

[@TheDailyDIYer]

It should be in the description box of the video :)

[@bethhughes430]

Beautiful! You are incredibly talented! Do you do this as a side job? You should be!

[@TheDailyDIYer]

Well thank you very much! Yep, this is my side job. Most of my videos are client orders. I figured if I'm making them, might as well create tutorial for anyone that might want to make them too! Thanks again!

[@johndanniballe3236]

thanx for the tut, didn't like the music and it was too loud

[@floriduhgirl4084]

you could have cleaned the edges up more... otherwise theyre cute
