Materials
- Large Popsicle Sticks
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Peel and Stick Letters
Tools
- Scissors
Instructions
- Count out 11 craft sticks and using your ruler and pencil, mark off 4” on each stick.
- Using your scissors, cut the craft sticks on each of the lines. Continue until you have cut all 11 craft sticks. Discard the remnants.
- Layout 4 sticks in a row, vertically, spaced about ½” apart. This is the bottom of your pallet. Using your glue gun, place a generous drop of glue at the top of each of the four craft sticks, about 1/8” down from the top.
- Attach a craft stick along the row of glue dots, perpendicular to the row below. This will be one of three middle support “beams” for the pallet.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 with a craft stick in the middle and then with a stick about 1/8” from the bottom.
- Now you are now going to build the top layer of the pallet. Using your glue gun, place a generous drop of glue on each of the three-middle support “beams” and attach a craft stick, lining it up to be parallel with the craft stick directly below it. Repeat this for the next three in the row.
- Choose the words you would like to put on your pallet coasters. You can use stencils to apply your words, but with these craft sticks, they are very porous, and most inks and paints tend to bleed through, making the stencils smear.
- We found stick-on letters from the scrapbook section of the craft store a neater choice. To make sure your letters stay in place, you can use a small drop of glue or seal your pallet coaster with a layer of Mod Podge or spray a clear sealant. If you use either, allow drying for 24 hours before exposure to moisture.
