Paint chip wallet, which I first ran across in the magazine Readymade a couple of years ago. Designed by Narangkar Khalsa-Glover, who was nice enough to let jesser post a tutorial, plus there’s another tutorial by jensect on Flickr. (Picture is of a nara one.)

Green paint chips cut into thin strips make adorable bamboo for collages…
For anybody who makes artist trading cards, cut in half a paint chip is just right to make 2 ATCs that are just slightly smaller than 2 1/2″ by 3 1/2″.
How funny that this is posted today! I just squirreled away a stack of paint chips for a clever little project yesterday.
I just LOVE the wallets!
That is so clever!
I have been saving paint chips for some time with the hopes that an idea would come to me…this is perfect. These will make wonderful little gifts for the girls I craft with. Thanks!
Do you have any ideas of how to make a framed piece of art using paint chips? What would you adhere them to? We are redoing our basement and need some inexpensive ideas for the walls…….Thank you.
