My patio went from bland to bangin’ after I transformed a boring wooden pallet into a gorgeous flower wall – it was easy
A DIY fan has shared how she turned a wooden pallet into a stunning flower garden for her patio.
With plans for a vertical flower wall, the DIY fan used the piece of scrap wood to transform her patio.
Jordan, who goes by @goldenhourabode, shared her transformation in a TikTok video online.
She said: “Let’s turn this palette into a vertical flower garden.”
Once she had her wooden pallet, Jordan gave it a good sanding so paint would go on much easier.
She said: “First things first, I just wanted to give this palette a good sanding because it was a little rough, and I wanted a nice, smooth surface to work with.”
“Make sure to wipe it down afterwards.”
In touch with the theme, Jordan decided to paint her palette green.
She said: “And now for the fun part, we’re going in with the colour forest green from Beyond Paint.”
“And honestly, you don’t even need to sand beforehand when you’re using this paint because it’s so high quality, and it’s really made for projects like this.”
Two coats later the wooden pallet was a wonderful forest green.
Jordan said: “It’s honestly got such good coverage, and I ended up giving it two coats, and I’m so happy with how the colour looks.

The DIY fan also topped it with a sealant.
She said: “Next, we’re going in with a couple coats of Beyond Paint sealant just to give it a really pretty satin sheen.”
“And it also helps to bond the paint and make it a little bit more weatherproof since it’s going to be outside.”
When she was finished Jordan was able to decorate her new vertical flower garden with plant pots secured with brackets.
She said: “So here’s how the palette turned out after a couple coats of paint and sealant.”
“And now I’m just setting it up in my little outdoor space that I’ve been working on.”
“And for the finishing touches, we’re just attaching these brackets to the palette to hang my flower pots on.”
In the end Jordan was really pleased with how her DIY garden turned out.
She said: “And I’m so happy with the way that this came together. Already find myself wanting to spend so much more time outside with my flowers, and I love that.”
