I love pallet crafts! And this one is perfect for creating a really stylish coffee table for your living room - for a fraction of the cost of retail outlets. You could also double up the pallets if you want some extra height. You can always ask your local Dublin handyman to help you get pallets - maybe discarded ones from a building site.

This is probably my favorite out of all the ideas. Get yourself a bunch of coffee stirrers and get painting - and you'll soon have this work of art hanging on your wall!
