Homemade Paint Palette - paint palette made from recycled lidsYou can make your very own handheld paint palette using a plastic lid and plastic bottle caps. Use one larger bottle cap in the center to mix colours. I used a Cool Whip lid, water bottle caps, and one sports drink cap. Once you puncture the hole for them, this can be a great palette for kids to make, then utilize while they paint!

In lieu of buying paint palettes, why not make your own? I have used paper plates before, but all the paint tends to run together eventually.

With just a few supplies, you can have a palette that keeps the paint separated and is perfect for any age to use.

Repurpose Old Food and Storage Lids for Paint Palettes  - colored soda and water bottle caps on a squarish container lid as another option
