We had this cheap IKEA table and after seeing a few people on the internet make theirs more interesting to look at I thought I'd give it a go. Not much to lose as the tables are cheap and the pallet timber is free.
I cut the timber on my table saw.
Sanded it.
Glued it.
Took a couple back off after it didn't look right (a bit of a pain).
Glued and nailed an edge for finish, then stained and varnished.
I painted the legs with a grey Matt gloss paint then put the original shelf back.

Starbust mirror made from pallet wood wedges
I made a simple jig from old timber to cut wedges on my table saw.
After cutting and cutting and cutting.
I eventually had lots of wedges that were nearly the same size as each other.
I arranged them and glued then together.
Then after finding a cheap mirror and taking it apart, I simply for it on after I stained the wedges.
