Paint chips come in handy when you are trying to decide what color to paint that home office, or which color looks best on your front door, but what do you do with that stack you’re hoarding after you’ve decided? There are some creative ways to use those paint chips–read on to see some ideas of just what you can do with them.

Paint Chip Earrings

Use a circle punch in varying sizes to cut circles out of those paint chips, and then turn them into a cute pair of earrings. The best part is, they’re so light they won’t weigh down your ear lobes and look ridiculous.

Wall Art

I think it makes perfect sense to turn those paint chips into colorful wall art. Over at A Beautiful Mess, see how to make some beautiful art that you’ll love showing off.

Handmade Cards

See Under a Cherry Tree blog for ideas on using those old paint chips to make lovely handmade cards. I think this is a genius idea!
