Sand your pallet smooth if needed and paint white using your Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch paint. Let it dry completely.
Lay out your tree design. Paint your tree shape using your green Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch paint, and feather the edges to add a branch look. Make the top of your tree end on the last slat of the pallet, and the bottom of the tree just barely on the first slat on the pallet. If you're feeling festive, use Krylon Glitter Blast spray paint in green to really make your tree sparkle.
Cut your paint stirring sticks down to about 6 inches. Layer the sticks turning each new stick about 60 degrees, and add a drop of glue in between each layer. Let the glue dry for about 20 minutes, and spray paint with Krylon Glitter Blast spray paint in gold.
Cut a 4" piece of furring strip and paint it brown using Rust-Oleum Multicolor Textured spray paint in brown. Let it dry completely.
Pre-drill your trunk and star so that they don't split when you nail or screw them on to your pallet.
Find the center of your 100-light string (20.6 ft.). Beginning at the top (with 5/16" staples) staple your lights to the tree outline in a criss-cross pattern, ending at the base of the tree. Be careful not to staple into your light strand wire!
Add ornaments and decorations to taste. Voilà! You have a pallet Christmas tree!
