What is the best way to put wording on palette signs?

Country Design Home on May 18, 2015Hi Susan- the simplest way to write on palettes is with stencils and paint. AC Moore and Michaels have a variety of sizes and fonts to choose from. For something a bit more unique, I typically use my "reverse chalking" method. I print out a design on plain copy paper, then rub chalk all over the back side of the printed design. Place the paper on the palette and then trace the design with a pencil. The outline will show up on the palette, ready to be painted free-hand. If you are planning on leaving the palette alone with the large gaps in between, just make sure your graphic is large enough that the letters don't disappear into the gaps.Helpful Reply

Shrimp Salad Circus on May 19, 2015I usually do the reverse chalking concept, too, except that I actually use graphite transfer paper. Works like a charm!Helpful Reply

Bambi @QueenBtellsall.com on May 19, 2015I use stencils or reverse chalking too. If stenciling just remember to use a small paint brush to fill in the gaps in the letters. That way it doesn't look like a stencil.Helpful Reply
