Make Pretty Things with Paint Chips

Using paint chips to make art and crafts is pure genius. They are so colorful, and they are free! There are so many ways to create with paint chips I had a hard time picking. Just type “paint chip” in the Pinterest search bar and you can scroll for ages. But I wanted my round up to be full of pretty things that you could make fairly easily, so I narrowed it down to these eight:

1. Gorgeous ombre wreath from Style at Home / 2. Sweetest heart garland from Lovely Indeed / 3. My daughter made this very pretty name garland, you can find the instructions here / 4. The most lovely chandelier made by Hey Gorgeous / 5. I made these gift tags for the teachers a few years ago, you can find out more here / 6. Brilliant use of paint chips for mini notebooks. There are no links for this but it looks super simple! / 7. These paint chip feathers are so pretty on their own, but Mer Mag made them into headbands. / 8. A beautiful piece of framed artwork by A Beautiful Mess.

I would suggest running to your nearest paint store a.s.a.p., before they catch on and start charging for these things! We love having paint chips around because you never know when you need a splash of color in a collage or a garland.

Have a great week!

xo, Bar
