Ultra thin DIY watercolor Palette from Starbucks

- So I really wanted to make a thin portable palette that is not like the Peerless palette though. I wanted a tin. So I was fortunate that Starbucks (Philippines atleast) has this mints tin that is only around 5mm thick and 2.5 x 3.5 inches dimension. I wanted it to fit my leather journal as if there's no palette inside. :) i also used the small cups inside the Pocari Sweat caps. and presto, I now have the ultra thin tin I've been wanting. this doesn't get out of my bag! :)
Omg the bottle caps as containers is an idea i haven't thought of before 😍 thank you!!
You have a very nice travel set, however, any time you use a tin container, for watercolors, you need to either spray it first with a clear coat of acrylic or white acrylic paint as the tin will rust without protection. Hot glue is a great way to adhere pans and still be able to remove them. I also use stick-on magnets, and rubber cement to adhere pans. I use eye-shadow pans, available on Amazon and other sites, which come in a variety of sizes. Like the tin containers, I spray these with white paint so they won't rust. To protect the swatch card, for the palette, I use an inexpensive laminator. A laminator can also be used to make a laminated white card to mix paints in the lid. I also use hot glue to make wells for mixing paint in the palette lids.
You can also try old and unused eyeshadow makeup palettes. They are really thin and small and you'll have really thin pans (round or rectangle) ready. I have an old Ever Bilena eyeshadow makeup palette with 12 pans in it. I turned it to watercolor palette instead. It can fit my jean's pocket. Haha. Oh, and it's also possible to buy empty makeup pans on Shopee or Lazada (with or without case). They are reallyyyy thin.
Options for the top are spray paint and vinyl contact paper. Both are great for the job.
What a wonderful little palette! Thanks for sharing how you made it and your sketchbook setup. It's nice to see it in action at the end.
Allen, FYI!.............Look on Etsy and you will find handmade cases from many watercolorists that have tiny, tiny watercolor "pans," that would fit perfectly in your tiny palette. This is just so you can see how tiny these are. You can also buy these pans on line independently from various retailers. If needed ,use a tiny dot of "Blu-Tack," to keep them in place in your mini Starbucks palette. Blu Tack is a putty like substance used to hang things on walls and interestingly enough used as a substitute for kneadable eraser in England.
Brilliant! Thank you for showing the bottle cap hack!!! Just Brilliant!!!
I love love this Allan! I'm so happy you share one of your palettes with us!! So awesome!! Xoxo
Brillent idea, thank you for sharing!
Wow!!! I love how thin this is. Such a great idea.
Me rn: searching for more plastic cups and do this DIY palette. Hahaha. Thanks for the idea. 💗👌🏼
Another option for the pans is to use button caps. Have you seen it? I think they are smaller than the insert of the bottle caps. I’ve seen people use it in card holders to make very slim palettes
Very nice!
What a cool idea!
Very nicely done I think you could also be able to fit the small shallow pans of empty make up (eye shadow tins) you can get empty one in makeup stores or just buy a cheap set and just empty them out.and I do believe they should fit (I think you may be able to fit 15 in that tin). If you spray an enamel white paint in the top of the tin ( or spay the entire tin you will prevent rust from ruining your hard work.
Get a small can of white shiny spray enamel paint to spray the mixing part of your tin.
