How To Make DIY Paper Painting Palette

  • Start with a roll of freezer paper
  • Cut paper to size
  • Fasten the paper to a clipboard

Here's a quick, easy, and affordable way to make a disposable paint palette.

I recently made my own paper paint palette using plastic-coated freezer paper from the grocery store. The plastic coating on the paper prevents the paint from being absorbed into the fibers, making it perfect for acrylic and oil painting. Here's how to make your own DIY palette:

  1. Purchase a roll of plastic-coated freezer paper.
  2. Cut the paper to your desired size.
  3. Arrange several sheets on a clipboard and secure them with a rubber band.


  4. Using freezer paper for a paint palette is cost-effective and provides a surface that's easy to use. It's disposable so it makes paint clean up a breeze.

    In fact, you can get around 100 square feet of plastic-coated freezer paper for less than the cost of 40 square feet of palette paper from an art supply store. It's a simple and affordable way to make a paper paint palette in a pinch. I hope you find this information helpful!
