How to make reversible scarecrow and snowman decoration for your front porch

Etsy

Wooden pallet signs have been a popular trend for years now, and for good reason: They’re inexpensive to make, require little woodworking expertise, and they can be made out of recycled wooden boards for an eco-friendly craft.

And with this reversible wooden pallet holiday sign, your home decor will always be on point. Forget lugging your holiday trimmings from the garage or attic. With this clever design, all you have to is flip your handmade sign, and voila, you’re headed straight from Halloween and Thanksgiving into Christmas.

One side features a sweet, smiling scarecrow, while the other side has a cheery snowman that is perfect for Christmas and the winter season.
