Miniature wooden pallets are a great detail for whatever project you’re working on! These are super cheap and easy to make, not to mention you can make several in a single afternoon. All you need is some basswood or balsa wood strips, an X-Acto Blade, a ruler, super glue, and acrylic paint, and sandpaper.
I used vallejo acrylic paints to stain the wood pallets:
Black
