Paint Chip Art
1. DIY Paint Swatch Chandelier ~ This ombre patterned chandelier is gorgeous! Can you believe it’s made of paint swatches? Grab your paper punch and get punching. I think any color you choose would be just as fabulous as this pink one.
2. Butterfly Speciman Art ~ These dimensional butterflies are amazing! And, it’s incredibly inexpensive to make. Lowe’s free paint swatches. Check. Foam mount stickers. Check. Cardboard insert. Check.
3. Paint Chip Placecards ~ These place cards are very creative, simple and of course, cheap! They also add a fun colorful zest to the table setting. Change the color of the paint chip and they would be perfect for any occasional dinner party.
4. Paint Sample Coasters ~ For simple and colorful coasters simply mod-podge paint swatches to them. Perfect for gift giving. Since you saved so much on the coasters you could pair it with a cool mug and hot cocoa mix.
5. Paint Chip Magnets ~ If you don’t already have pantone chips you’re going to want to get some to make your own “candy” magnets. Adhere them to cardboard cut to size and finish them off with paper glaze. These were used on filing cabinets, but I think they would be fantastic on a refrigerator to help your children learn their colors.
