PAINT CHIPS

I've been obsessed over paint chips since I was a kid. Every time my parents would drag me to Home Depot or Lowe's I'd sneak away to the paint section and play with the sample chips. I'd collect as many free samples as I could and take them home to do whatever project I could come up with. 

I ended up spending my college years as a scenic painter, and have obsessively painted every wall I could in each apartment or house I've moved to since college. But it's been a while since my fascination with the chips themselves actually led to some DIY projects. The trend seems to be increasing, so I did some research to see what I could find. I couldn't believe how many creative projects I found! Here are some awesome ideas to inspire you. And the best part... they're free! Follow the DIY links for instructions on some of the projects, or the BUY ME links to purchase the items from Etsy artists.
