Abstract: An artists' disposable palette (10) comprising a paperboard blank (26) having a peripheral edge (16) and a hole (14) formed centrally therein. The blank (26) has a first cut line (28) extending between the hole (14) and the peripheral edge (16) of the blank (26) defining first (30) and second (32) sections of the blank adjoining along the cut line. A tab (34) in the first section (30) is inserted into a second cut line (40) in the second section (32) cupping the planar blank into a saucer shaped palette. The palette (10) is held in a saucer shape by the engagement of the tab (34) with the tab receiving slit (40) preventing the tab from passing back through the slit.
