paint chip crafts
I have a bunch of paint chips left over from painting my apartment. They seem too pretty to throw away, so I looked for some ideas for crafting with them.

How funny that this is posted today! I just squirreled away a stack of paint chips for a clever little project yesterday.

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.
