How To Make A DIY Pallet Sign Art:

 
Step 1: Freehand your image…in this case, a Sun. (I wanted it to look folkart-esk, so I didn’t worry much about perfectly, straight lines.)

Step 2: Get out all your leftover paints…mix them around…and create various shades. Or buy paints that are a few shades apart.

Step 3: Paint your design.

    1. I didn’t make this, Arden, so I really don’t know. It looks like full-size pallet slats that I would guess to be 5′ or 6′ long. Using 3 slats together. I love it too!
