Painting A Wood Pallet Plaque

November 14, 2016 by Raquel 4 Comments

Sharing is caring!

Painting a wood pallet plaque is one of those simple craft ideas that I love. In just a little time, you can make some pretty inexpensive home decor items.

I had seen these cute wood mini -pallets, or pallet plaques in the craft store for just a few dollars. I bought a couple without really knowing what I was going to do with them. I stored them with my craft supplies for the future. A few weeks later, I heard about Dixie Belle paints and was offered a sample to test out and review for myself. I knew immediately that I would use the pallet plaque for my project.

They sent me a few paint colors and I could not decide which color to use as I truly loved how deep all the colors were. I finally decided on using the Butter Cream Chalk Paint on my project.

The paint was creamy and smooth and ready to use.

I painted the pallet in just a single coat.
