How to Make Your Own Painted Pallet Art Craft
In no time at all, you will have your very own painted pallet! Make sure you have all the supplies ready to you can jump right into this activity. Those of all ages will enjoy this fun art craft.
Step 1
First, start by painting the entire surface of your pallet sign with dark grey paint. I mixed a bit of black and white. You can use very little paint during this process and a dry brush to create a rustic finish with a bit of wood showing through. Set aside and allow to dry completely.
Step 2
Then, you need to print the mason jar art file that you can find here. I printed mine on the poster setting of my printer so that it took up four sheets of paper and was large enough for my sign.
Then just cut away the edges with scissors and tape together to make one large piece for tracing.
Step 3
Next, put white transfer paper shiny side down on top of your dried sign. Add the flower mason jar print on top of this and tape everything into place, then trace around every line with your pen.
Step 4
Once complete, you can lift the paper and tracing paper to reveal that your lines have been transferred to the sign. You can also look for black tracing paper especially if you want to use this same method on say a white sign.
Step 5
Next, start filling in your lines with different colors of paint. Mix colors to create your own shades or use them straight out of the bottle. Remember that this is your painted pallet and there are no rules.
Step 6
Next, for the jar itself, I painted the stems first, then allowed them to dry. Then, I did one light teal coat over the top so it looks somewhat translucent. If desired, paint on a label and add some script.
Step 7
Once you have added all the lines, then allow the painted pallet art craft to dry completely.
How to Use
You can use this painted pallet art craft for almost anything! Place this art on the mantle above the fireplace, on the wall, or display on a table– the options are limitless!
This art craft is also great for gift-giving. If you’re looking for a gift for the holidays or just want to make a craft for someone, then you may really enjoy this painted pallet.
