Paint Sample Garland

I'm so excited to share this! A simple spring-y garland made out of paint sample chips.
It was super easy,fun, and FREE!


I went and collected pastel colored paint sample cards. The cards I got had three paint colors on each. I got three of each card. Three of the pink, three yellow, three peach, you get the idea.


Then I cut each color into a little triangle and sewed them straight through with my machine. I just fed them one after another without overlapping but very close.

I hung it in my built in cabinet, or hutch, or whatever its called.

Wouldnt it be cute to do a green and red for Christmas or brights for a birthday?

Head to your nearest Home Depot and pretend you are looking for paint and swipe some samples of your own.
You can find similar garlands here, and here
