Pallet Art

Pallet art has always been super cool to me! This week I decided to have my kids help out with some pallet transfer art:

I had my daughter and niece with me on some mornings this week and we decided to transfer one of their cousin photos onto a 6" x 8" ken oliver scroll pallet. Here is a collage of them at work:

A couple of tips on creating these:

1. You have to use a laser transfer photo (or laser copy photo).
2. If your photo has words on it you need to flip it before transferring to the pallet (or the words will be backwards on the print).
3. Burnish your copy onto the pallet with firm strokes so that the transfer goes smoothly.
4. A sponge makes an easy tool for removing the paper .
5. Be careful around edges as the medium transfer can easily be broken there.
6. Just when you think you have removed all the paper, there will be more that shows up. There is a fine balance between what you cam remove and what is left.

And when you are 7 and 8 and done, this is what it looks like:

These were done on our 6" x 8" scroll pallets . And all Ken Oliver products are on sale this month for 30% off. Use the code KOlove to save on the Ken Oliver Collection!
