Next week, my son's room is undergoing the transformation into a "big boy's bedroom"!
This involves a brand new paint job....going from green to blue and all that entails.
So needless to say, I've got quite a few paint chips that we amassed during the paint selection process.
I ran across an old issue of Good Housekeeping and timely enough, came across this idea.
Using those old paint chips as gift tags!
Love making the gift tags half and half colored by using those old paint chips.
Cut them into a cute shape with a circle cutter or large punch, punch a hole in for the ribbon and there ya go!
I'd even leave the name of the paint on there if you're able with the shape. The names of paint are usually pretty interesting and add character to the tag.
Think outside the box. You could make these smaller for favor tags for birthday parties or weddings. There are plenty of shades of paint to match everyone's theme.
This is very cool. I am off to re-paint my bathroom. Had it mostly done and hated it, so starting over....and yes, I have lots of paint chips too! :)
I just saw paint chips being used for scrapbooking too. I think that idea came off of tipjunkie.
I like your site. Lots of neat ideas.
I'll be checking back to see what is new.
Thanks.
