DIY Custom Watercolor Palette Holster (Use what you have!)

Because you never know when a watercolor duel might break out LOL! I scanned my patterns for the portable painter micro, a classic 12 color tin and the Derwent palette and sketchbook patterns. If you want then you can find them here: https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.co...
The other day I purchased a cute palette that came in a green holster you can clip on y0ur belt loop or bag for travel painting: https://amzn.to/3zaG87H and I had several people ask if my Portable Painter Micro would fit. It didn't fit but it gave me the idea to make holsters for several other palettes and I will show you how to draft a pattern for your palette and make one for whatever watercolor palette you have. You can make them to fit just the palette or include a sketchbook and loops for pens and brushes. Customize it how you wish!
