Pallet art: personalized silhouettes

Palettes have become quite popular these days. There are a lot of things they can be used for, from beds, tables, mini-gardens to decorations and accessories. It’s hard to believe that something as rough as a pallet can become a form of art. However, with a little imagination, you can turn a pallet into a personalized piece of wall art.

The project is really simple actually. It only involves the creation of a silhouette on the pallet and painting it. Let’s see how you can do that. You can use five 16’’ slats for the board and then screw in two slats for the back. This will help you create a continuous board. You can use wood glue between the slats for more stability. Wood joiners can also be added. Then you can use a family picture and turn it into a silhouette. It’s not hard at all.

After that, cut out a vinyl piece using the silhouette and transfer it onto the boards. Use glue to seal the edges of the vinyl. Then apply some paint using a foam pouncer. With the pint still wet, remove the vinyl. Take a paint brush as smoothen out the paint and let it dry. When it’s done, just hang it on the wall. It’s a simple and creative decoration for your home. You can use any picture and form a silhouette after it. It doesn’t have to be a family picture. However, it needs to be something personal. The paint can be any color you want.{found on infarrantlycreative}.
