Thanksgiving Mini Pallet Art

November 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I love decorating for Thanksgiving but often find I just don’t have the time to do a lot of decoration changes.  So, I typically focus on decorating the house for fall and then add a few Thanksgiving specific touches around the house as the holiday gets closer.  This year, I created some Thanksgiving mini pallet art to display on my mantle. It is the perfect last minute craft to toss up for Thanksgiving since it takes only a few supplies and almost no time to complete.

Thanksgiving pallet style art you can make in under 30 minutes using wood shims!

Mini pallet style art is super simple to make and can be customized pretty much any way you want.  I started with some wood shims to make mine.  When I made my last pallet style art, I glued the wood shims together so they were all the same width.  This time, I skipped that step and just dealt with the slope in the wood shims by alternating them so it laid semi-flat.  This worked fine because I wasn’t stenciling anything onto the wood shims.  If I was going to be stenciling, I definitely would have tried to flatten them out a bit to make it easier.

I used two wood shims on the back that I glued on perpendicular to the others to hold them all together.  Then, I painted the front.  At first, I painted them a really light beige color that I found on the clearance bin at Home Depot.  It was too light though so I switched to a different color that was a bit darker.

A quick trip upstairs to use my Silhouette Cameo and I had words to attach to the front of my mini pallet style art.

Have you created any pallet art work recently…mini or otherwise?  I am loving how it looks up on our mantle.  Plus, it takes such little time that I can easily put it together for Thanksgiving.
