Paint Chip Matchbook Tutorial

You all know how much I love my paint chips!  I thought I would share one of my fun and easy projects with you!

First let us remember that I did not steal these paint chips.  I use the discontinued fans that I get from a painting company.  I would urge you to find some way to recycle as well.

Ok, on to the fun stuff!

1. Trim paint chips to 9 1/2".

2.  First fold 1 1/2" up, then fold approximately 3 1/2" down to create the matchbook.

3. Choose the paper you will use in your matchbook. Cut it to 4" x 2". You slide the paper under the fold and secure with a simple staple.
*It would be awesome to use recycled paper in here as well!

This is what you should have now!

4.  Here is where you can have fun it!  Pull out your stamps, stickers rub-ons and whatever else you can think of and decorate the fronts of the matchbooks.

Now throw some in your purse to write down little notes, give them to your friends, put them in your families stockings this Christmas.

Happy Crafting!

Back at it again.....Paint Chip Notepads

You all know how much I love paint chip crafts!  I just can't help myself!  So, I had some fun yesterday making some new paint chip matchbook style notepads.

I have stacks and stacks of discontinued fans of paint chips that I rescue from the trash and love finding new things to do with them!  I have made book marks, notepads and have some Christmas ornaments that I made as well.

Do you have an idea for a paint chip craft?
