Paint Chip Sample Art

This week I stopped by one of my favorite shops: East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse. You just never know what you might find there. I look for unusual items that I can reuse for a craft project. Look at the projects I made below - can you guess what I picked up?

Yep, packs of paint chips!

 

 I've seen people make crafts with them before, so I knew I could make something with them.

I have a vintage doll stamp that's fits perfectly in the color block. So, I stamped away...

I also took some of my Project Life cards to make tags and birthday cards - you can always use more birthday cards!

I cut up each paint chip and used them on the cards. I like keeping the color name and number as part of the paint chip.

The black and white card below came from the Target Dollar Spot. I love the graphics on it.

I added some buttons and some other accent paper to finish the cards.

As you can see, I only used the taupe shade paint samples for this grouping of projects.

I wanted to make one project with the entire paint sample, so I made this banner below.

And the last project below is a mini book.

This was a fun project! Next time you're at your local hardware store, try picking up paint chip sample and making something creative with it.

And lastly, I wanted to share a fun storage idea. I recently bought these vintage drawers and found they're a perfect fit to store washi tape. It's a good thing!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!
