Mini Pallet Ornaments

Hello friends! We are getting so close to one of my very favorite holidays, it seems so hard to believe that Christmas is two months away. If you have visited me on my blog The Crafted Sparrow during Christmas before you know that I love to make ornaments for my tree. These fun Mini Pallet Ornaments will be filling my tree this year with my store bought ornaments.

Supplies:

– popsicle sticks
– Cricut Explore Cutting Machine
– vinyl
– glue gun
– white acrylic paint
– red acrylic paint
– green acrylic paint
– 1″ foam paint brush
– small round pouncer foam brush
– jute twine

To see how I built the mini pallets from popsicle sticks go HERE.

Once I had my mini pallets built I created a white wash using 1/8 cup water and about 1/2 tablespoon of white acrylic paint, this is not an exact science at all. Feel free to do your white wash as dark or light as you like.

Paint each mini pallet with the 1″ foam brush and white wash mixture, set aside and let dry.

While those were drying I created my images in my editing software then uploaded my custom images to Cricut Design Space and turned it in to a cuttable image. I sized them to fit my mini pallets.

And cut the designs out on vinyl.

Apply the vinyl to your mini pallets and use your mini round foam pouncer brush to paint over the stencil. Paint carefully and in light layers of paint since the pallets are uneven, some bleeding may occur.
