Make a bottle rack with pallets

 The use of recycling always has a great respect for the environment and all its surroundings, because it allows giving a new opportunity to materials that are no longer used or have ceased to have a useful life.

     It also develops imagination and creativity. In this brycus tip we will learn how to make a bottle rack out of reused products. For this, we will need a large pallet. This way we will have enough wood to work comfortably.

     In making the bottle rack, we will also use another environmentally friendly material, cork, which we will use to decorate the structure. When manipulating the different woods, it is convenient to start using a lever to separate the different woods from the pallet. Once the slats are separated, we will be able to verify that they are attached to each other with laces and nails. To remove them, you have to be very careful and use the back of the hammer. This will ensure that only the wooden slats remain. Once they are only on the wooden structure, use the saw and cut the slats in the size you want or have in the place where you place the bottle. Once all the pieces have the desired size, it is time to use the sander and leave the slats in perfect condition, as well as prevent us from getting the chips in use. It will also have a new look and will not look like recycled materials have been used.

     Since this is a craft, our brycus advice is to use patience and care in this work, which is entertaining as well as fun. It is important to polish the edges so that the materials have the desired softness and an attractive look. When it comes to making the structure and gluing all the slats, we'll use glue. First, we build a square with the boards and use another one across the width of our structure. This will serve to prevent the bottles from falling out, once we have placed them. Then, on the back, we will use three other tables, which will have the function of support for the bottles. Once all the slats have been glued, it is best to wait for the time recommended by the manufacturer to dry the slats before continuing to work. When the bottle rack is ready, you can choose to paint it or leave it as it is. If you choose to colour it, it is advisable to choose paints whose pigments are made from environmentally friendly materials. An idea to decorate the bottle rack can be the use of corks. These can be cut to taste with a knife and give them the desired shape to personalize it and give it a touch of originality. The cork is an easy element to use and manipulate, since it allows to shape it with a little patience and skill.

     As a brycus tip, you can surround the board facing the outside, and make a frame in its structure. If you decide to paint the bottle rack, you can give different colors to each of the pieces of cork distributed by the different parts of it, or the table that has been chosen to customize the bottle rack to our taste. In both cases, before placing the bottle rack in the chosen place, it is advisable to make two or three holes, both in the upper table and in the wall. After that, it can be fastened to the wall with alcayatas. If you want to give it better support, you can also use a glue resistant to the passage of time or another type of glue.

      It is important to ensure that the glue has been placed correctly, otherwise it can fall to the ground and break. Especially if it is full of bottles. Once it is in place and dry, if you have chosen to use adhesive, it will be time to fill the bottle rack with the different bottles chosen for it. When this work of craftsmanship is finished, we can feel proud and value a work made with a great variety of materials reused and recycled, so that we have contributed to have an enormous respect for the environment.
