Have you ever considered using paint chips in your crafting? Paint chips are otherwise known as the colorful paint sample strips and cards available at your local hardware store. They come in a wide range of hues and are quite sturdy, which makes them perfect for all of your crafting needs. Oh, and the very best part? They are FREE! Now of course we are not suggesting you bombard your local craft store and bleed them dry of all of their paint chips, but if you have any around the house or just want to help yourself to a few, you have the makings for some excellent crafts! Take a look below at two paint chip crafts you can try using just paint chips and a few other basic supplies. You don’t need to be a super crafty kitten to create any of these, just dig up a little creativity. Take a peek.
